Hello!
I have two exciting literary events this month:
- one (with lunch and wine) at the Bayside in Brisbane at the Grand View Hotel,
- and the other at the Burdekin Readers & Writers Festival in North Queensland (with a smashing lineup of authors!).
Read on…

So first off, come join me for a literary lunch at the Grand View Hotel–Queensland’s oldest licensed hotel. Here’s the spiel:
Josephine Moon, Australia’s first foodie fiction author, describes her novels as ‘books like chocolate brownies’– rich, inviting and a treat for soul, but with chunky nuts to chew on. She is the author of The Tea Chest, The Chocolate Promise and The Beekeeper’s Secret, all published internationally. Enjoy a two-course lunch with wine while Josephine entertains you with the delightful stories behind her books and readings that will make your mouth water.
Sound good? You can book tickets here.

Next up is the Burdekin Readers & Writers Festival, 15-17 July in North Queensland.
Three days of wonderful programming and a ripper lineup of Australian authors, including:
Kimberley Freeman, Frances Whiting, Nick Earls, Graeme Simsion, Susan Johnson, Morris Gleitzman, Katherine Howell, Matthew Condon, Annie Buist, Lesley & Tammy Williams, David Metzenthen, and one of my all-time heroes, John Marsden.
I’ll be there for:
Beer & Bubbles on the lawn
Dinner with the Authors (Greek banquet… oh yeah!)
High Tea with Josephine Moon (who could resist??)
Happy Hour with the Awesome Foursome (in conversation with Susan Johnson, Kimberley Freeman and Frances Whiting… and apparently we’re going to share our secrets on how we get that whole work-life-parenting balance thing happening)
In conversation with Lynne Butterworth
Lunch with the Authors
Wow! There’s a lot of food in this program, which sounds right up my alley! This looks like a really rich program so if you can escape the cold and head north for the weekend, why not come along? Book tickets here!
