Local author Andrew Hyde's new book launch at Leigh Library

January 3, 2024

An exciting book launch event at Leigh-on-sea Library with local author Andrew Hyde who celebrates the publication of his debut novel 'To Muddy Death'.

Andrew Hyde is retired from a career as a tax investigator and a trainer of tax investigators, the latter role requiring him to have produced instruction manuals, scripts for short movies and computer games. Living in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex with his wife, Lesley, he occupies himself as a leader of walks in the most beautiful parts of Britain on behalf of the UK's largest provider of activity holidays, as a church steward, as an occasional writer and usually failing to complete the Guardian crossword. He is a keen though sluggish cyclist, an avid collector of bad jokes, and since childhood has followed Colchester United FC through thin and even thinner.

Andrew will discuss becoming a writer in his retirement, the inspiration behind his novel and the writing process. Signed copies of the book will be available to purchase.

The event will be held on Saturday 20th January from 2.30pm - 4pm. Book your free ticket at: southendlibraries.eventbrite.com

Light refreshments will be provided.
