Two Talks over Two Days

Thursday 29th July

If you're looking for something writing related over the next couple of days, Elizabeth is doing two free talks at the Bodhi Tree in Mt Hawthorn.

The first one is tomorrow (Friday) at 2pm on writing in general. Elizabeth will have my writing coach hat on so come along with your writing questions.

On Saturday at 11am she'll be talking about autobiographical writing in relation to being a carer for those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

If either of these appeal you can click on the link below to find out more, or just turn up.

Hope to see you there.

Our Sydney 'Caring Moments' Tour

Saturday 19th June

Well, the exciting news is that Pamela Eaves and I are off to Sydney tomorrow for a flying visit to launch and promote Caring Moments.

Alzheimer's Australia have kindly offered to launch our book at their Open Day on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday we are being interviewed on Canberra ABC radio by Genevieve Jacobs at 2pm and then by Tony Delroy for his Night Life show for Sydney ABC. Other than that, who knows what else might happened between our other meetings (probably way too much shopping and stops at the Lindt Chocolate Cafe).

So, if you feel like finding out more about the book or buying your copy please tune in to your local radio stations or pop down to the Alzheimer's Australia building for the Open Day.

Caring Moments is HERE!

Yes, our sequel to Stolen Moments has arrived back from the printers and I am looking at the stack of boxes as I type. I might be biased, but I have to say, 'It's looking good.'

If you were one of writers selected to have your story or poem included in the book, I just want to let you know that your complimentary copy will be in the mail within the week.

If you didn't have a story or poem included in Caring Moments I encourage you to buy a copy through our online store because the book won't be in the bookstores till February 2010.
