A writer felt she had hit a "career low point" after turning up to her book signing - only to be greeted by rows of empty chairs.
Author Suzanne Young said she "cried all the way home", but it wasn't long before her spirits were lifted thanks to the "kindness and support" of strangers.
Suzanne had been making an appearance at a bookshop, to sign copies of her new young adult novel In Nightfall, but was left dismayed after nobody turned up.
