This new book festival, based in the heart of the Black Country, will see renowned west midlands authors join up and coming and debut authors in your local Dudley library. They'll be sharing the behind the scenes of what it's like to become a published author, what inspires their work, and how they keep the west midlands at their hearts.

Local author Michael Braccia has been writing books since 2015 when his debut novel Could It Be That Way was published. This was followed by the Banfield Tales, a collection of stories based around a small village that have something for everyone. His latest work Vision of Another Life is new for this year.

Michael Braccia will be appearing at Cradley Library at 14.00 on Wednesday the 18th June, 2025. To book please call Cradley Library on 01384 812885 or cradley.library@gll.org
