Hide AdLionel Barnard, County Council Cabinet Member responsible for the Library Service, said: “This is a great chance to get a taste of what life was like in Sussex a millennium ago.
“History becomes even more interesting when it is written into a good story.”
Paula will also be joined by members of the Regia Anglorum re-enactment society who will look at the 1066 Battle of Hastings.
She said: “My philosophy is that I write for me first, but if anyone cares to accompany me upon my journey into the realm of fantasy and history, then I see it as a bonus.”
