In Pictures: The third annual Boston Book Festival brings literature lovers to town

Greg Swain, Sarah Welbourn, Jane Rylands-Bolton, and Steve Cocking with author, Keith Rylands-Bolton of Tealby.

More than a dozen author talks and sessions were held across Fydell House, Blackfriars Theatre and the Guildhall Museum from Thursday to Sunday.

The sessions offered unique insights into writing fiction and non-fiction pieces and where authors draw their inspiration.

Participants were also able to buy books signed by the authors and take part in workshops for all ages.

It was a festival to showcase local authors, and hear from those from further afield who have written books in various genres including crime, non-fiction, comedy, science fiction and fantasy.

BBC weatherman Paul Hudson also came along to talk about his obsession with weather – while BBC journalist Sharon Edwards shared her stories for young children.

Organiser Jane Keightley said: “We had a great selection of authors including Megan Clawson, a local girl who now

lives in the Tower of London who has used this experience as a basis for her book ‘Falling hard for the Royal Guard’.

"Overall – we all had a brilliant time.”
