Well, it would appear that nobody has died or needed emotional counselling after my public appearances so far for ‘Roll With It‘, from Bairnsdale to Fairfield, so the Fitzroy local library has bravely invited me to take part in an evening discussing the art of crime fiction within my hood.
It’s happening on Tuesday, July 30, and sees me alongside some highly accomplished local authors, which is always a lot of fun. Plus, it’s at the glorious Fitzroy Town Hall, which rocks: scene of such memorable moments as the Save Fitzroy FC rally, planning disputes for developers pushing the envelope around the hood, and, best of all, the Marios Cafe 25th birthday party, which was a brilliant evening.
Possibly there will be less alcohol and shenanigans at this crime-fiction event.
Tickets are now on sale, apparently, and the official announcement is as follows:
