Launches, Festivals and Readings, Oh My!

There’s a new page on this website. It’s been a busy few days for me (no, Dragon Age 2 is still yet to arrive), but I’ve confirmed a book launch for The Secret of Talmor Manor, entered the People’s Choice Night of the Williamstown Literary Festival, and been invited to be a panelist at the Emerging Writers’ Festival for their Romance Genre panel.

I did a few other things too, but those are the most interesting ones. And as a result, I’ve added an events page to this site so they don’t get lost amongst the flurry of posting on this blog. Or the hopeful flurry of posting on this blog.

So without further ado, this is what I’m up to!

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AND POETRY NIGHT: WILLIAMSTOWN LITERARY FESTIVAL
For a bit of fun I’ve entered the Williamstown Literary Festival‘s People’s Choice and Poetry Night, which is an open mic style event for ten short works of poetry and prose, with the audience deciding the winner in each category, with prize money to the tune of $50-$100 each. If you’d like to come along and help me win, your support would be very much appreciated.
When: 7:00 PM Thursday 28 April,
Where: Pirates Tavern,
82 Nelson Parade
Williamstown

MC of the Poetry will be Mike Reynolds of Passionate Tongues. And the MC of the Prose will be notable story teller, Jackie Kerin, who was joint winner of the Ada Cambridge prize in 2009.

Tickets are $5.50 concession and $7.70 adult.
