Author ventures into new fiction
Lois Fenn will be launching ‘Naught Marigold’ at a coffee and chat event at Sleaford Library on Friday July 26 from 9am until 12noon.
The 83-year-old’s first three award-winning books were based around the Blitz in Hull and wartime evacuation.

This latest fictional novel is a departure from her home front family saga, instead going for something more character-driven, which she says she has enjoyed.
“It is about a wealthy lady who is greatly relieved to bury her husband after a bad marriage. She has various associates interested in her money and it explores their characters and how they are involved. It is a dark and fascinating tale, set in the present day. I wanted to move into something more relevant.”
