AN award winning writer is bringing her sell out tour ‘Smile While You Still Have Teeth’ to Halesowen..

Carol E Wyer is promising visitors an entertaining and humorous evening at Halesowen Library on Friday, October 3.

The Staffordshire based children’s turned adult author is well known for her witty and comical approach to writing for newspapers and magazines and has made several appearances on radio and TV including BBC Breakfast.

The author said: "I started writing humorous stories about the incidents that occurred there and amused all my friends and family.

"I then went on to write light-hearted children’s stories, then stories for children that taught them French through humorous animal tales and finally, for adults four years ago."

She added: "My main aim is help people age disgracefully or at least laugh at life. I guess that’s why I also took up the challenge of stand-up comedy last year."

Councillor Hilary Bills, cabinet member responsible for libraries, said: “Audiences are set for a fun-filled evening next month as Carol makes her debut appearance at one of our libraries.

"We are continually looking to invite new authors in, which will attract more and more new visitors through our doors.”

Carol’s tour, which has sold out to crowds across the UK and Europe, is the result of the writer completing a crash course in stand up comedy last year in an attempt to prove you are never too old to do anything.

Tickets are £3 which includes refreshments and doors open at 6.30pm.

To book tickets call the library on 01384 812980 and copies of the author’s books will be available to purchase during the evening.
