Author Louise Fennell will be signing copies of her new book 'Fame Game' at Chepstow Bookshop this weekend.

The event takes place this Saturday (27th April) at 1pm.

Louise was first introduced to the gilded gutter life of the rich and famous when, aged 17, she began working for the iconic dress designer Thea Porter in 70s Soho.

In those years she travelled extensively from the Colony Room Club in Dean Street to Paris, New York and Los Angeles, dressing the stars of stage, screen and rock and roll.

After a stint as a photographer's agent she returned to her first love: 'zipping divas into dresses', and started her own fashion business in the 90s, which she enjoyably continues to do today.

Louise is married to the jewellery designer Theo Fennell and they have two daughters.

Fame Game is her second novel.

Britain's most famous family, The Spenders, need to get out of town in a hurry. They have been hounded from their London mews house by a riot of photographers following scandalous revelations and are now forced to move to a rundown Dower house in Oxfordshire where no one knows they are hiding.

But the family's country life is as colourful as their old town life, and with anonymous threatening notes arriving at their hideaway and the parents' marriage in jeopardy as well as financial crisis, life is spiralling out of control for them. So when Zelda's new agent comes to visit to discuss an offer she has had for Zelda to become a judge on the panel of a new TV Talent show called Fame Game, how can she afford to turn it down?

And is Zelda about to find out that, in the Fame Game, the stakes are even higher than she thinks?
