25.01.2022 Are you the type of reader who loves talking books, meeting authors, sharing your passion for stories? If you are, put August 7 - 9, 2020, in your calendar and... join us at the friendliest Writers' Festival in the Tropics. All types of readers welcome. Even The Borrower (but never returns). Which reader are you?

22.01.2022 Multiple award-winning author Ann Harth writes fiction and non-fiction for children and adults. Strong, interesting female characters creep into most of her boo...ks, and many arrive with a sense of humour. Find out more at annharth.com. Before becoming a writer, mentor and developmental editor in Far North Queensland, Ann studied psychology, waited tables, bar-tended, picked strawberries, worked as a clown and punched keys on various tills. She also spent ten years working with children with special needs. Ann taught writing for the Australian College of Journalism for eight years before taking the leap into freelance work. Ann is the Far North Queensland representative for The Society of Children’s Book Writers and illustrators. She’s had a number of fiction and non-fiction children’s books published in Australia and the UK and over 120 short stories sold internationally. When not tapping the keys, Ann stuffs a notebook into her pack and searches for remote places to camp, hike or explore. Looking forward to meeting her at this year's Book Fair!

Krissy has had an incredible career that took her all... over the world, and is now based in Townsville. Check out her website at www.thewellnesspoet.com to learn about this amazing woman and all her endeavours.

07.01.2022 Graham Burridge served Queensland as a police officer for close to forty years. His humorous memoir follows his career throughout the length and breadth of this... vast state. Shot at five times, stabbed twice, and with his spine fused due to injuries received, he retells each incident in the laconic and comic design of a truly masterful story-teller. This book is a page turner, one which has you wondering exactly what shenanigans will befall him next! Come for a ride along with Buzzy (his nickname - the origin of which is contained somewhere in this book). Travel through western Queensland, the Far Northern tropics, the Torres Strait, Whitsundays and metropolitan Brisbane and enter the wild, wacky and often confronting world this man endured. Well reviewed, well received and a delight to read, you can purchase Piggy Tales direct from the author at our book fair. Buzzy will be delighted to sign your copy and add a personal note for you - just ask! See more
