Zoom Webinar – Stranger Than Fiction
12 November 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The fascinating lives of three best selling authors from the 20th century
Zoom Online webinar with IAN SKILLICORN
Just some of the stories you will discover:
· the ambitious writer who became a Guinness World Record holder, and tracked down Dr Crippen’s mistress after she went into hiding;
· the brave author who flew Spitfires in WW2 then moved to Scotland in search of the Loch Ness monster;
· the determined bestseller who campaigned as a suffragette and defied the Nazis in occupied Italy. Ursula Bloom, CL Skelton and Naomi Jacob were three highly-popular, bestselling authors. They also lived through the defining moments of the twentieth century. Publisher Ian Skillicorn shares how their personal stories influenced their writing, proving that fact can indeed be stranger than fiction. Maybe you have a story to share.
