Following the UK launch of his new book, a geology expert is set to hold a Sidmouth event.

Roger Trend, who recently published a book on Lanzarote's geology, will take part in a Meet the Author event at Kennaway House.

On November 21 at 2pm, Roger will discuss his book and the process of writing it.

He will also share tips for new non-fiction authors.

Having served as an expert consultant for about 50 children's books on Earth science published by Usborne, Roger will guide the audience through Usborne's book production process in the second half of his talk.

The talk will also be illustrated.

Attendees will have the chance to purchase Usborne books and Mr Trend's book, The Island of Volcanoes, at discounted prices.

Admission is £5, including refreshments, with proceeds going to Kennaway House.
