It was fascinating to hear local author Tessa West talk about her most recent biography of Sue Ryder (Baroness Ryder of Warsaw) and her experience preparing Polish freedom fighters returning to fight in occupied Poland during WW2. We also enjoyed earlier poetry and fiction (including poetry from 'The Other Vikings', about Viking women's experiences). Her explanation of the publishing process for a new author - including self publishing and the experience of finding interested publishers for both her biographies seemed as complex as the actual writing itself! Thank you Tessa for a really interesting talk - and what a character the very driven Sue Ryder was!
