Thriller novelist who worked with big names in show business meets a Powys women’s group

April's meeting of Old Radnor Women’s Institute was opened, and Richard Cobourne, a writer was introduced to members to speak about writing thrillers.

Richard had worked for the BBC over the years, meeting many celebrities, and had written medical books before writing the thrillers.

It had taken a year and a half to write each thriller, and he is in the middle of writing his last. Richard had taken his books along to the meeting for members to purchase if they wished to.

Well done to members who took part in the County Show held in Knighton last week.

The women’s institute’s next meeting will be a trip to Stocktonbury Court Gardens.
