Literature
Book Club Breakfast
8.30-10.30am Collie Public Library
Join us for a discussion with author Sarah Evans and children’s author/illustrator Gabriel Evans for two quite different views of creating literature.
Sarah Evans
A multi-award-winning and internationally published author of crime and romance novels, novellas and short stories. Her fast-paced crime romps, featuring Perth cop Eve Rock, Operation Paradise and Bad Habits, have been optioned for TV and her memoir recipe book, Seasons and Seasons in a Teapot, is a country favourite. But it hasn't been an easy ride. Come and find out how a Luddite, who wrote by candlelight and cut and pasted with actual scissors and glue, grappled with technology and became a traditionally published novelist who was this year 'discovered' by a TV producer.
Gabriel Evans
An Australian author and illustrator creating heartfelt and humorous picture books in his studio on a hill surrounded by trees. His books have been published in twelve countries, shortlisted twice in the Children’s Book Council Picture Book of the Year, read on ABC Play School and reviewed in the New York Times.
A Friend for George is his latest picture book, publishing in May 2023.
