I am very happy to announce that posters for my novels are now on display inside the wonderful Sunderland Empire Theatre.   If you spot one of them, take a selfie as I'd love to see your pics!  The posters will be in the theatre until March 2020.  Sunderland Empire is a very special place to me as it's where my dad proposed to my mam and where my graduation ceremony took place when I graduated from Sunderland University as a (very) mature student.  What a great way to end a wonderful year! __ Glenda Young Author of historical novels with Headline Twitter: @Flaming_Nora Facebook: GlendaYoungAuthor

Went on a behind-the-scenes and backstage tour of The Sunderland Empire today. The Empire is a very special place to me. As well as going there regularly since I was a child to see great shows, comedians, bands and pantomimes, it's also where I graduated as a mature student. And it's where my dad proposed to my mam. And today I was part of a small group who went behind-the-scenes to see backstage at the magic. Here are my pictures from the visit, I really hope you enjoy looking at them. It was an absolute privilege to be one of only a handful of people inside today: ______ I'm on twitter @flaming_nora

What on earth happened to The Dooleys? A singing sensation at around the same time as The Nolans, I went to see them perform at the Sunderland Empire back in the 80s. Where are they now?
