A Carmarthenshire author, David Thorpe, will be holding a signing and reading for his futuristic new novel set in Wales today (Friday) at Tenby's Caffé Vista.

Stormteller is a fantasy sci-fi story set in Wales' near future, about climate change, that riffs on modernisations of old Welsh myths.

Author David Thorpe has twin careers in writing and environmentalism. He is a novelist, non-fiction author, journalist, scriptwriter and comics writer, and the winner of a HarperCollins contest to find a major new children's writer with his novel for young adults, Hybrids, which the Times called 'A stunningly clever novel'.

He has written and been the commissioning editor of many comics and graphic novels for publishers such as Marvel and HarperCollins.

Readings will be interspersed with Welsh and Klezmer folk music by acclaimed local band Fiddlebox, who will also play material from their forthcoming album, Eastern Honeymoon.

The event at Caffé Vista takes place at 7 pm. You can find out more about the author at http://www.davidthorpe.info">www.davidthorpe.info
