Afternoon Tea with Meg and Tom Keneally

Join the brilliant Meg and Tom Keneally for an informal chat, questions, and book signing at Buck Mulligan's, Wednesday 22nd March 3.30-5pm.

Bookings not required - phone: 9077 7915 for more info.

Tom and Meg will discuss their latest work: The Unmourned – Book Two of The Monsarrat Series. This thrilling series interweaves historical fact with their original brand of fast-paced, witty crime fiction, bringing Australia’s colourful convict history to life.

When the much despised Superintendent of the Factory, Robert Church, is brutally murdered, there is a factory full of women who might have cause to want him dead. Finding the perpetrator will be no easy task for our recently arrived protagonist, ticket-of-leave gentleman convict Hugh Monsarrat. Through his ever-loyal housekeeper and unofficial sidekick, Mrs. Mulrooney, Monsarrat gains access to the inner workings of the Female Factory and with it, a chance to uncover the truth behind Church’s murder. Not all murder victims are mourned, but the perpetrator must always be punished in The Unmourned - Book Two in The Monsarrat Series.

A seasoned performer – at The Bowery Poetry Club New York, Melbourne International Arts Festival, Melbourne Writers Festival, La Mama Poetica, plus many more – Paul’s reading promises to be something special.

 

"Mitchell is a terse and observant writer, as alive to the particulars of Aussie idiom and experience as Tim Winton, but less showy ... It's hard to wrote about the thwarts and flaws of conventional masculinity without coming across as either too harsh or too sentimental. Mitchell succeeds in doing so." The Age reviewing We. Are. Family..

“Mitchell’s writing is challenging, exhilarating and touched with a deep sense of humanity” - Tony Birch, winner of the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for Indigenous Writing for Ghost River.

Our first book launch!

For our first book launch, we have the honour of presenting Lucy Durneen's fabulous first collection of short fiction - Wild Gestures - published by Aussie independent, Midnight Sun.

It is hard to describe Durneen's stories because they are so rich and vibrant; there is just so much going on. With brilliant characters, unexpected worlds, raw honesty, and sensory extravagance, Durneen slices straight through to the heart with her dazzling word-play. There is darkness and pain but, also, an almost whimsical optimism at the heart of these stories, leaving the reader in awe at the everyday beauty of life and love.
