The Sunday with Friends literary series presents a foreign novelist Sunday, Oct. 11 at 3 p.m. at the Washington County Public Library, Abingdon, Virginia.
Martin Haworth is a Scottish novelist, missionary and outdoorsman, whose love of history has led him to write the Z-Rod trilogy of novels, which takes the reader through an epic tale of sixth century Scotland. It’s based on real historical events, set during the time when the Picts, the ancient people of Scotland, encountered the arrival of Irish monks. The result was a clash of cultures.
Haworth once worked in community and church development with an Iron-age Filipino tribe, providing him an in-depth understanding of pagan belief practices. Recently he has established a business, Roaming Scotland, which leads groups on hikes throughout Scotland and helps connect visitors to Scotland’s landscapes and ancient history. His books have arisen from a fusion of these experiences and interests.
The Friends of the Washington County Public Library is a volunteer, non-profit organization whose purpose is to help strengthen the resources of the library and to make it a dynamic force in the community.
There will be book sales and signings following the author presentation. This event is free and open to the public.
