EALING author, Anne Marie Ryan, has teamed up with The Pitshanger Bookshop to offer six lucky winners the chance to grab a signed copy of her new book, The Six Tales of Christmas.

Ryan told Nub News: "I'm very happy to be collaborating with such a beautiful independent bookshop and to send some Christmas cheer to people though my book.

"In the story, Nora and Simon are shops owners who set up a campaign whereby people can nominate someone they believe is in need of a book during the holidays.

"Six people are picked and a book is sent out to each of them, with the hope that this will help them with their struggles."

Ryan has mimicked the story from her book and is offering the chance to six lucky people to win a signed copy of her new book.

All you have to do to enter the competition is go onto The Pitshanger Bookshop's Facebook page and tag a friend in the comments.
