Creator of a popular Forth Valley College evening class – Dr Tom Christie - has just published his 20th book!
Dr Christie – who leads the Writing For Publication course at the Stirling Campus and who runs the independent https://www.extremispublishing.com/firm with his sister Julie – has just released ‘A Seriously Groovy Movie Christmas’.
The release is the fourth book in a decade long series that explores the fascinating world of Christmas cinema, just one subject which Dr Christie has masterfully chronicled over the course of his prolific writing career.
The author and cultural historian will also be delivering a writing workshop for Tourism and Events students at Forth Valley College on Monday 18 November, as part of the College’s Book Week Scotland celebrations.
Concluding his in-depth examination of Christmas films throughout the twentieth century, Dr Christie offers readers a joyful and insightful look at the genre's influence on audiences worldwide. This new release promises to be an essential read for film enthusiasts and those who have followed his career over the years.
Since the publication of his debut book in 2007, Dr Christie has established himself as a leading voice in the fields of film history, popular culture and digital humanities.
His works — ranging from thoughtful explorations of cinematic milestones to the dawn of home microcomputing — have resonated with readers across the globe. Spanning seventeen years to date, his varied bibliography includes titles that are both educational and entertaining, with his latest achievement serving as a career highlight in his literary journey thus far. To celebrate this landmark publication, Dr Christie will be making a number of public appearances throughout November and December 2024 to talk about his work and discuss the publishing industry more widely.
