Recommended Posts

The Writers' Room is a new project from Walter Iuzzolino and Jo McGrath, co-founders of the global drama platform Walter Presents. We’re very happy to be hosting an event with their first two authors, Nicole Arend and JP O’Connell, who are both local to the Dulwich area, which will be chaired by Walter.


Hotel Portofino by JP O’Connell is a heady historical drama about a British family who open an upper-class hotel on the magical Italian Riviera during the 1920s. It is a story of personal awakening at a time of global upheaval and of the liberating influence of Italy's enchanting culture, climate and cuisine on British 'innocents abroad'.


Vamps: Fresh Blood by Nicole Arend is the first book in a trilogy set in an elite finishing school for billionaire vampires in Switzerland. It is a brilliantly entertaining, glamorous and unputdownable read about very contemporary themes, such as the global excess of the wealthy elite at a time of dwindling global resources, while at the same time being a very personal coming of age narrative.


Join Nicole, John, and Walter as they discuss the challenges of writing novels and their differing approaches to research as well as reflecting on genre fiction and the enduring international appeal of vampire thrillers and historical coming of age stories. And discover what they plan to work on next... Don’t miss this wonderful event, perfect for any budding writers or for anybody interested in the craft behind a good read!



Location: Dulwich Books, 6 Croxted Road, West Dulwich, SE21 8SW

Time: 19.00 – 20.30

    • https://www.stanthonysprimary.co.uk/parents/admissions/admissions-1 Both my children went to St Anthony's and I feel it is a wonderful school... very inclusive of all faiths (they learn about all religions even though it's a Catholic school) and nurturing with great pastoral care and teaching. it's a real community of families and school staff and I was very sad when my youngest left for secondary this year. 
    • happy to buy, but would rather not buy a new one as only need it for a very short time (Hallowe'en). Please let me know if you have one in your cupboard that you don't use.

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
