It’s been a hectic July promoting The Last Viking.
On July 16 and 17 I was in Balingup for the Children’s Literature Festival, with talented WA creators Meg McKinlay, Deb Fitzpatrick, David Caddy and Elaine Forrestal…
…the next weekend saw Norman and I visiting Albany’s Singing Tree bookshop to teach children how to roar like Thor…
…and the weekend after that I was in sunny Kununurra for the Kimberley Writers’ Festival, with fellow Fremantle Press authors Alan Carter and AJ Betts.
Thanks to all those teams that put the events together- Helen and the ladies in Balingup (who aren’t booksellers or librarians, just committed and passionate members of the community- amazing people)… Dianne Wolfer, Andreas and co in Albany (thanks for your generosity and hospitality, and the mulled wine)… and the marvelous Jo and her team of maniacally energetic librarians and volunteers up north (who work 11 months of the year to put the Kimberley Writers’ Festival together- on top of their normal duties. Amazing amazing amazing).
Here’s a few pics from the travels…
Was brilliant to meet you James (and little Knutt!), hope you enjoyed the Kimberleys 🙂
Hey Nathalie, great to meet you too. Loved the Kimberleys, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, and the festival was a lot of fun. Hope your writing is going well… as some writer buddies say, the secret to writing is simple- “you just finish the damn book”.
