Local author Marianne Wheelaghan (pictured above) is launching her debut crime novel, Food of Ghosts, on Thursday. Marianne, who also runs a successful B&B, was a volunteer helper at a NENgage social media session in Stockbridge Library last month, and she’s delighted to share her latest news with NEN readers:
“I’m launching my debut crime novel, Food of Ghosts, on 8 November at Blackwell’s Bookshop, South Bridge (6.30pm). The event is FREE but ticketed, the tickets are available from the front desk. What will happen on the 8th: there will be a strong Pacific theme and I’ll say why I set my first thriller on a small coral atoll as far away as you can get from Scotland before coming back again!
“There will be bubbly and the opportunity to ask questions – as well as the chance to win a signed copy of the book. Food of Ghosts is my second novel, the first being the best-selling novel, The Blue Suitcase, which is based on my mother’s true-life story and tells the remarkable story of a teenage girl growing up in Nazi Germany.”
A tempting appetizer!

Thanks for this, Dave. Although Food of Ghosts is deadly serious,Thursday should be a fun evening, and if readers haven’t been to an author event before this is a good one to come too 🙂 All welcome! There will be coconut palms and even a Bounty Bar or two with the bubbly! We’ll also be previewing the new trailer for Food of Ghosts, so all in all a great way to spend an hour on a dull November evening!
By the way, I really enjoyed the NENgage workshops. I was also at the last workshop on the “Joy of Stats” last Thursday. I didn’t think stats could be such fun ;o)
