Local author, JUSTIN NEWLAND, will be signing copies of his latest novel, THE CORONATION, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday 5th September at W.H. Smith, 44 High Street, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 1JA. Set during the reign of King Frederick the Great, THE CORONATION is a secret history of the Great Enlightenment, that seething cauldron of ideas that shaped our modern world. Justin writes secret histories in which real events and historical personages are guided and motivated by numinous forces, that’s “history with a supernatural twist.” He’ll also sign copies of his other novels: THE GENES OF ISIS and THE OLD DRAGON’S HEAD. As well as book signings, Justin appears in literary festivals, gives library talks and does radio interviews. A Doctor of Mathematics, he lives with his partner in plain sight of the Mendip Hills.
