Date for Kilcullen launch of Hazel's latest book

Local author Hazel Gaynor’s latest book will be launched in Kilcullen in Woodbine Books on Friday 15 September, writes Brian Byrne.

The Cottingley Secret is published by HarperCollins and is Hazel’s fourth historical novel. She has also contributed to Fall of Poppies, an anthology of short stories set in WW1, and a jointly-written WW1 romantic novel with American author Heather Webb, Last Christmas in Paris, will launch in October.

The Kilcullen launch will be at 7pm, and signed copies can be reserved by calling 045 482777. The book was launched in the US on 1 August.

Hazel is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of A Memory of Violets and The Girl Who Came Home, for which she received the 2015 RNA Historical Novel of the Year award. Her third novel The Girl from the Savoy was an Irish Times and Globe & Mail Canada bestseller, and was shortlisted for the BGE Irish Book Awards Popular Fiction Book of the Year.

Hazel was selected by US Library Journal as one of ‘Ten Big Breakout Authors’ for 2015 and her work has been translated into several languages.
