As part of Brighton’s unique festival of Open Houses, novelist Lesley Thomson and fellow Myriad authors Martine McDonagh and Robert Dickinson signed books, met readers and read from each other’s books instead of  from their own at the Dog House Book Corner Cafe  on Sunday 16th May  in Hampstead Road.  Visitors ate home-made cakes and sipped tea in a ‘home-from-home’ atmosphere while listening to the beginnings of three novels.
