Playwright Aston Cooke told the Jamaica Observer that he is looking forward to organising a reading of his upcoming production Jamaica Jamboree at the Two Seasons Talking Trees Literary Fiesta. This is one of two new readings confirmed for the literary event, the other being Jamaican Revolutionary - a history of the game of football in Jamaica written by journalist, Mark Thomas.
Patrons of the festival will be treated to excerpts of readings of excerpts from novels and poems from last year's festival in the segment called Recorded Talk. For last year's schedule go to

We will be partnering with the Jamaica Observer's Bookends and feature selected writing from this year's featured authors. For author profiles, visit www.2seasonsguesthouse.com/blog
Talking Trees is a family event and a children's programme will be featured throughout the day. Books of the authors will be on sale and there will also be used book sales. Jamaica Cultural Enterprises will be offering transportation from Kingston for the event. See photos of the writers below and keep in touch with me via Twitter - Gwyneth_h@hotmail.com or RoadSafetyJa
