House of YA is going on the road to celebrate our summer of love!  

Whether it is romantasy, rom-com, slow-burn or enemies-to-friends-to-lovers and back again, we have a YA romance you’re bound to fall in love with.

The Authors:
Bea Fitzgerald, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Greek myth romantasy Girl, Goddess, Queen. Bea’s hotly anticipated new novel The End Crowns All is a sapphic reimagining of the Trojan War and features a simmering slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance that will have readers yearning for more.  

We're delighted to announce that we will be joined by Steve Cavanagh on 31st July. 

Cavanagh's new book Witness 8 returns to a well-loved character: Eddie Flynn returns in another pulsating legal thriller from the author of Kill for Me, Kill for You, as a twisted witness to a murder begins her own deadly game. 

The Burnt House begins with the house – and a body: Alan Hobbes stabbed to death in his own bed.

For years, he’s lived as a recluse in the remains of a derelict mansion that once belonged to a serial killer.

We're thrilled to announce that we have Ami Charlize joining us for a Meet & Greet Signing to celebrate the launch of her book, My World.

Told with her trademark humility and honesty, this part memoir, part self-help guide reveals how social media sensation Ami Charlize has navigated the challenges and successes of young adulthood.

In the second of our SHOW AND TELL CULTURE series we are delighted to welcome local photographer and writer Ebony Wright back to Left Bank. In this session, Ebony will share her creative process and inspiration for the creation of her zine 'Wild'.

"Wild is a collection of 35mm film photographs and short essays. It is a love letter. To trying again. To letting another someone in. To being vulnerable. To it not working out, again. To breaking our hearts, again. To hope." Ebony Wright

With Gaby Roslin.

Every single hamlet, village, town and city in the British Isles has a story of secret passages running beneath the landscape. The tales speak of hidden tunnels connecting the castle and the monastery, or the hermitage and the pub, or the church and the manor house. Often these are supposed to be escape tunnels, sometimes they are connected with smuggling or treasure, on other occasions the given reasons for their existence are somewhat salacious and scandalous.
