AUTHOR Katie Fforde signed copies of her latest novel at Stroud Bookshop on Valentine’s Day.

Mrs Fforde, of Minchinhampton, has published a romance entitled A Vintage Wedding.

The Daily Telegraph has described her work as “deliciously addictive”, while The Times has praised her “acute and funny observations of the social scene.”

Set in a small Cotswold town, the story centres on three friends looking for new beginnings. They go into business organising stylish and affordable vintage weddings, arranging other people’s Big Days, little knowing that love lies waiting for each of them, just around the corner.
