Keep a diary and one day it’ll keep you
—Mae West
Extend your writerly morning at Bathurst Library by attending two events. After my author talk where I will be talking about my crime novel Ex and the inspiration and process behind writing it, grab some lunch and come back to do some writing of your own. These exercises are calculated to get your own creative ideas sparking. Come along and give it a go! Bookings can be made here (and the 12.30 author talk can be booked here)
Autumn is the perfect time to take a trip over the mountains as the leaves will all be turning and the temperature will be perfect. I'll be at Bathurst Library talking about my new book Ex, and following the talk I'll be doing a creative writing workshop - come to both and make a day of it!
Bookings for the free talk can be made here And if you're interested in the workshop following this event, see the bookings page here
And here is the follow up to episode I of this conversation with Harry Colfer and Jack Roney on the Genre Fiction Podcast. This second instalment focuses on marketing strategies for authors and what is involved in trying to get your book into circulation and selling copies.
You can listen in here. Enjoy!
I'm looking forward to another author event at Elevenses Cafe, but this time I'm not in the hot seat. I'll be quizzing thriller writer Steve Shipley on his Blake Willis series and what makes him (and Steve!) tick.
I will be appearing at Kincumber Library on 4 March for people local to the Central Coast. You can book a free place here
Now THIS was fun. I finally got my turn to have a chat with these guys on the Genre Fiction Podcast. I must say, I got some good writing tips out of it myself!
This is Episode 1 of 2, so keep your eye out for Part 2 due to drop in a fortnight's time. Thanks for a lively conversation Jack Roney and Harry Colfer.
It's a roadtrip up the coast next week to Forster and Wingham Libraries.
Forster 11.00am on Thursday the 28th | Wingham 11.00am on Friday the 29th.
Join us for a conversation about writing, reading and all things books!
