BOLTON-born bestselling writer Ruth Hamilton is returning to her home town -- to help Bolton Hospice.
Ruth, alias Linda Girling, will be performing one of her short stories, and reading from her books and poems at the lecture theatre in Bolton Library at 7pm on Tuesday, May 21.
At An Evening With Ruth Hamilton she will also be selling copies of her latest book Saturday's Child. And she wants all the evening's profits to go to the Hospice off Chorley New Road.
"I would like all the money raised to be used for the patients," explained Ruth, who now lives on the Wirral but retains such a fondness for Bolton that she uses local settings in all her books.
"I want the patients to have whatever they want in their dying days, and I hope this may help to make that time more bearable." The authoress is already very involved with the hospice movement, helping out at her local St Joseph's Hospice.
"I believe it is very important to improve the quality of the time left when people are so poorly." Tickets for An Evening With Ruth Hamilton are available from Sweetens Bookshop in Deansgate, at £3, or £1.50 for senior citizens.
FUNDS NEEDED: Bolton Hospice needs cash to keep going
