Join Catriona Silvey and Sam Canning on Thursday 24th April at 7pm, as they chat to Katalina Watt about their fresh and funny, timeless tales of romance, Love and Other Paradoxes and Virtual Strangers.

Love and Other Paradoxes
Cambridge University student Joe Greene dreams of a future where his words will echo through the ages. Esi already knows his future. She’s on a time-traveling tour to witness history’s greatest moments. In Esi’s era, Joe is as renowned as Shakespeare, and he’s about to meet Diana, the subject of his famous love poems.
But Esi is harbouring a secret. This year, something will happen at Cambridge that will wreck her life, and she’s hellbent on changing it. When she bumps into Joe, she sends his destiny into a tailspin. To save both their futures, Esi becomes Joe’s dating coach, helping him win over Diana. But when Joe starts falling for Esi instead – they both face a crucial question:
Is the future set in stone, or can we rewrite our fates? 

Virtual Strangers
Do you believe in love at first type? When Ada set up her own PR firm from a coffee shop, she didn't expect to meet journalist Fraser. Also working there daily, he soon becomes a friend. Reporting on interesting things to do around Edinburgh, Fraser ropes Ada into accompanying him on his assignments. As they work side-by-side Ada can't help but notice how attractive Fraser is, and how well they get along. But, Ada has been chatting to a guy she met on an Agatha Christie fan fiction site, and she can't stop wondering about him. His interests are the same as hers, and the anonymity helps them both be more honest and open. As Ada's messages with the mystery man become deeper, she thinks she's falling for him. Ada is torn between Fraser and Myster-E - but can you have real feelings for someone when you're virtual strangers?
