About Bookface Book Swap Brunch with Alan Parks
Winning this year’s prestigious McIlvanney Prize, Glasgow-born Alan Parks will be the guest author at the forthcoming Bookface Book Swap Brunch on Saturday 29th October.
The Scotland-based writer, who’s amassed fans from all over the world with his best-selling crime novels featuring lead character Harry McCoy, will be discussing his award-winning May God Forgive – book five in his thriller series – with journalist Maggie Barry.
Praise and plaudits from his literary peers include Ian Rankin, Louise Welsh and Peter May. American writer Bret Easton Ellis described his work as “gripping and violent, dark and satisfying.”
The Bookface Book Swap Brunch, held at restaurant and bar Glaschu in Glasgow’s Royal Exchange Square, is an inspirational monthly event where book lovers swap titles, enjoy brunch and participate in a 45-minute Q&A with some of Scotland’s most noted authors; Doug Allan, Lisa Gray, Guy Grieve, Helen Fitzgerald, Paul English and Sophie Gravia are just some of the celebrated names who’ve taken part.
Heather Suttie, founder of Bookface, the online book group which has attracted 2300 members worldwide, said: “Having Alan as the guest author is a real privilege. Fans will have the chance to ask him questions about his crime thrillers, listen to their backstories and buy a signed copy of his award-winning book May God Forgive.”
Guests are encouraged to bring four books to participate in the sustainable book swap where there are 300 titles to choose from.
Tickets priced £30 which includes tea/coffee, prosecco, brunch and a Lillet cocktail are on sale via Eventbrite. Guests are encouraged to bring four books to participate in the book swap.
