One of Scotland’s most talented new authors is coming back to his home town this week to talk about his critically acclaimed debut novel The Voids.

Ryan O’Connor will be discussing his surreal and darkly humorous masterpiece from 6.30pm at the Hope Street library this Thursday, August 18.

He said: "This will be the launch of The Voids paperback at Falkirk Library and will be quite an evening for me – it’s something of an official homecoming for myself and The Voids.”

Born in Falkirk, Ryan attended St Andrews Primary School and Hallglen Primary School, before moving up to Falkirk High School.

His debut novel may have him earmarked as the new “overnight sensation” of the Scottish literary scene but his journey to success has been decades in the making.

Ryan, who now lives in Glasgow with his partner and two children, has signed a two-book deal with Scribe and says another novel is already well on the way.
