Author visit from Stuart Reid
Yesterday we had a visit from Scottish author Stuart Reid. He became an author at 42 after realising that he wasn’t happy in his job. He showed us the books he has written and read some extracts from them We got to act the parts out to make the stories really come to life. We were given the opportunity to buy a signed copy of the books.
