Join me on Saturday at 2pm for more Hannah’s Bookshelf on North Manchester FM. This week, my guest will be the brill Lucy Knott.

Lucy loves to write as the sun rises each morning and with the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the air. Being surrounded by a few of her favourite things; stacks of notebooks, a colourful bookshelf and a Shazam poster or two, inspires her to write the uplifting, heartfelt stories she so loves. When not writing or reading, you can find Lucy spending time with her family who have influenced the books she writes with their Italian heritage (on her Mum’s side), love of food and strong sibling bonds.

Lucy writes stories that she hopes encourages the reader to embrace who they are and believe in their dreams as she believes that no dream is too big or too small. This lead to her recently taking up skateboarding which she is loving every minute of learning and shows that it’s never too late to follow your heart.

I’ll be talking to Lucy about her books and influences, and about writing in general. And, of course, she’ll be sharing her selections for this week’s Apocalypse Books.

Catch the show on Saturday at 2pm on 106.6FM (if you’re in the North Manchester area) or listen online (if you’re further afield).
