Ian Puleston Davies and Suzan Holder at Flintshire event
The pair, who are great friends, will reveal how actor, director and writer Ian gave Suzan some valuable advice when she was writing the first of her three books published by HarperCollins.
Suzan, who is married to musician Noddy Holder, writes romantic comedies with a musical twist, her latest book 'What Would Dolly Do?' is inspired by the queen of country music, Dolly Parton.
Suzan and Ian will be In Conversation at The Berwyn Bookshop on Thursday, July 31 from 7.30pm.
Suzan said: 'When Ian and I get together we don't stop chatting and always have a real laugh, it'll be fun to share that experience with book lovers.
"I've got some stories about the real-life adventures that have inspired my books that even Ian doesn't know so I'm looking forward to surprising him and the audience!'
Ian said: 'I love Suzan's books, they are very rock n'roll - just like her, it's going to be a fabulous evening!'
Cheshire based Suzan's first book 'Shake It Up, Beverley' about a Beatles mad mum and her internet dating disasters got a thumbs up from Sir Paul McCartney himself who said it was 'Fab!'
Suzan got the idea for her second book 'Rock n' Rose' after an adventurous trip she made to Elvis Presley's Graceland home where she was dramatically rescued by a Mississippi motorcycle cop.
'What Would Dolly Do?' tells the story of Becky, a Dolly Parton tribute singer with such terrible stage-fright she can only perform when dressed up as country music's biggest, blondest star.

After splitting with her boyfriend (and Kenny Rogers singing partner) Becky decides to take inspiration from Dolly to go it alone and try to shine like a diamond in a rhinestone world.
Suzan said: 'The book is perfect for Dolly fans of course, but it also speaks to anyone who wants to escape the 9 to 5 or strike out in a new direction and face their fears.'
Tickets are available from the shop in Buckley or online priced £5 a ticket £10 to include a copy of the book.
