Month: June 2019

The book launch at the Wollongong City Library went well, on the 22nd of June. Although attendance was small, I hadn’t really expected a large audience, especially with fierce competition from The Wiggles who were performing out at Thirroul that morning!!! I think everyone who attended had a lovely time, with the reading of the story, a colouring-in contest, cake and free bookmarks. Award winning children’s author Di Bates did a wonderful job helping me launch the book. Thank you Di, and thank you to everyone who helped out and attended the launch on Saturday! I really appreciated your support. I am attaching a couple of photos from the event. Check out the South Coast Writer Centre’s Facebook page for more photos: https://www.facebook.com/SCWCentre

PS: Congratulations to Hugh, who won a copy of Paint with Magic for his wonderful colouring-in during the competition.

I enjoyed being involved in the KidsFest Shellharbour this year with “Paint with Magic” storytime & painting activities. My writing partners, friends and family members also helped out on the following days: May 19th at the Illawarra Light Railway Museum, Albion Park Rail, May 24th at the Blackbutt Youth Centre, Shellharbour City Centre, and the KidsFest Finale at Killalea State Park, May 25th.
