Don’t miss award winning local author Josephine Pennicott in conversation with Newtown Library’s own Gayle Donaldson. Josephine is a natural born story teller. Tonight she will discuss the inspiration and research for her new historical mystery, give her own take on tips for being a writer and touch on the art of being published.
Josephine’s new book Poet’s Cottage is an absorbing historical mystery set partly in the bohemian thirties and partly in the present day. It’s a Tasmanian tale about a mother and daughter, Sadie and Betty, uncovering the truth of their grandmother’s life and death.Presented with Better Read Than Dead Bookshop
