A CHEPSTOW author shared her experiences and hosted two workshops with Wyedean School pupils on Friday 16th June.

Mandy Aubrey-Burden, better known to some as Mandy Chambers, is a former Asda community champion and gave a presentation of her literary journey as she ventured further into the literary world with her second book ‘The Ghost Horse of Galinas Moor’.

She said: “The students received the presentation well.

“I offered a mixture of practical advice, creative tips and inspirational snippets that was finished off by a short writing exercise that highlighted some genuine talent amongst the pupils.

Since the launching of her first novel the ‘Devil’s Messiah’ in Chepstow Books and Gifts last year, she has re-released it with ‘New Generation Publishing’ complete with a new and improved cover.

She is not resting on her laurels as she has a third book in the wings and is currently working on her fourth.
