FICTION came to life in Swindon this weekend when the main characters from a Lyneham author's book joined her at a book signing.

Author Annie Waller, whose husband Trevor is a pilot based at RAF Lyneham, was at the Waterstones store in the Brunel Centre signing copies of her first novel Married to Albert, which is about a woman who marries an RAF pilot. And lead characters Guy and Kate were helping copies to fly off the shelves.

"It has gone really, really well," said Annie, 37, who was wearing her wedding dress as Kate. "Waterstones told me to expect the worst and if we sold ten books they would be pleased. We sold 30 in the first hour ­ it's been an amazing response.

"I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me today."

Annie describes the novel as being Peter Kay meets Jilly Cooper. And praise for the novel is already being heaped on the author.
