Sarah J Maas - T013850748Sarah J. Maas is a global literary phenomenon, with over 13 million copies sold worldwide. Now, to celebrate the much-anticipated sequel in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, she will be in conversation with Katherine Webber discussing her latest book: A Court of Silver Flames. The new novel focusses on fan-favourite characters, Nesta and Cassian. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly - proud, swift to anger and slow to forgive. And since the war - since being made High Fae against her will - she's struggled to forget the horrors she endured. The person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred, winged warrior who is there at Nesta's every turn. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. And when they are forced to train in battle together, sparks become flame. As the threat of war casts its shadow over them once again, Nesta and Cassian must fight monsters from within and without if they are to stand a chance of halting the enemies of their court. But the ultimate risk will be searching for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms. Join Sarah J. Maas for this very special event as she explores her much-loved series. Full of her usual warmth and humour, and with fascinating insights into her writing, this is an evening you do not want to miss. The event will initially be broadcast on 20 February at 19:00 UK time. It will be available to view up to a week after the event has ended and can be accessed worldwide. | |

Nicky Campbell - To celebrate the release of One of the Family: Why a Dog Called Maxwell Changed My Life - T456423065As co-presenter of ITV's Long Lost Family, reuniting parents with children, and as an adopted child himself, Nicky Campbell knows all too well the tangled emotions and inner conflicts that go with being given up by your birth mother. It has taken a lifetime - and a special dog - to come to terms with abandonment and the feeling of being an imposter in his own life. Join Nicky to celebrate the publication of his new book One of the Family, a brave and moving memoir which reveals how the unconditional love and friendship of Maxwell, his Labrador, turned Nicky's life around and helped him come to terms with the difficulties of being an adopted child. In this intimate and soul searching event, Nicky will open up about how being adopted has made him always feel like an outsider; the guilt he has carried towards his Mum and Dad for needing to trace his birth mother, and the crushing disappointment he felt when he finally met her. And, for the first time, he talks about his emotional breakdown and how he has learned to live with a late diagnosis of bipolar.
