Literary Lunch

Linda Green

Linda Green is the bestselling author of 11 novels which have sold more than 1.4 million copies in the UK. She wrote her first novella at the age of 9, but sadly, the pony-based time-travel genre didn’t take off! She wrote her first novel 20 years later and persevered through 102 rejections before getting her first book deal. She is an award-winning journalist and creative writing tutor. Her latest novel,’ In Little Stars’, was a big hit with a local Book Club. Having travelled to the Borneo jungle and the Arctic Circle, she now lives in West Yorkshire.

Harry Whittaker

Harry Whittaker spent the first few years of his life on the rural west coast of Ireland. The son of Lucinda Riley whose books have been translated into 37 languages, Harry became a storyteller himself as an award-winning radio presenter for the BBC and a member of one of the UK’s most renowned improv troupes. In 2019, Harry and Lucinda co-authored the Guardian Angel series for children – four reassuring, timeless stories addressing worries that a small child may have. After Lucinda’s tragic death from cancer in 2021, Harry completed the Seven Sisters series on behalf of his mother with ‘Atlas, The Story of Pa Salt’. He has since reworked one of her earlier novels to be published in hardback in September 2024 as ‘The Hidden Girl’. Harry lives in York.
