It was a wonderfully warm and engaging audience for my presentation at the Dapto Regional Probus Club this morning. On this occasion, the topic was I Belong to No One and the social conditions behind it. Thank you to all who came along and gave me such heart-warming feedback, and deep thanks to the many who bought books!
Now it’s time to turn my attention to the next event on the Louisa roadshow. This will take place on Wednesday 16th September at 5pm at Thirroul Library (352/358 Lawrence Hargrave Dr, Thirroul New South Wales 2515). Note the change of venue from Corrimal Library.
Good news! This is a FREE EVENT, with registration required through Eventbrite at the following link.
As the blurb says, Louisa is a powerful story of a woman who defied Victorian expectations to forge a new life in 19th century Australia. I’ll be in conversation with the fabulous fellow author, Julie Keys, whose debut novel, The Artist’s Portrait, was shortlisted for The Richell Prize for Emerging Writers in 2017. I loved this book SO much, that when I finished, I went right back to the beginning and read it all over again. You can read more about Julie here: Julie Keys – Hachette Australia.
Julie and I know each other quite well, and the best part about the Thirroul event is that we have agreed she is not to tell me about the questions in advance. So come along, one and all, and join us on a voyage of discovery!
I will be selling all three of my books myself at the event. Cash or Card welcome:
Louisa: $33
Louisa + Shifting Sands: $40
I Belong to No One: $36
