Bayside Local Author Expo: Victoria, Australia

Free program for writers at the Beaumaris Library, Victoria, to be held on Sunday 29th May 2016, 1-5pm.

Having joined the Sandy Beach writer’s group, I am now tiptoeing out of my comfort zone to join in this Bayside Local Author Expo. It would be great if any of you are able to come along. There will be many authors selling books, plus the program below that looks quite interesting.

It will also be children’s book illustrator- friend, Andrew McLean’s 70th birthday that day, so there should be some great celebrations as well. Please introduce yourself if you do manage to come along.
