An author from Yate is preparing for a book signing at Chipping Sodbury library on Saturday.

David Lord is the creator of The Figment Wars, a fictional series that follows three children on an adventure into another world.

That world is populated by figments of human imagination.

With the first book, The Figment Wars: Through the Portals, being published in 2015, David was keen to get started on the sequel.

The book is aimed at young adults, but with a book signing at Chipping Sodbury Library scheduled for Saturday, December 15 at 10.00am, David revealed that different ages can enjoy it.

"It is in the build up to Christmas so if you know a younger person who has an interest in fantasy then I would say bring them along to the library," he said.

The session will be running from 10.00am on Saturday until 12.00pm.
