The Wauchope Friday Writers Group has published another book! And they would like to share it with us at their book launch on Friday 24th November at 10.30am in our Port Macquarie Library.

Please join us for a cuppa and a chat with the writers.

Poetic Justice; the faces of retribution is the result of a writing challenge set by group facilitator and published author Desley Polmear.

Urged to write in the 3rd person in a murder or mystery genre this group of enthusiastic writers has delivered.

In the latter part of the book, they have written a few shorter stories on any subject they chose.

 

 

 

Carolyn Williams will also be talking about the writing and publishing of her children’s book The Adventures of Dora, the runaway greyhound.
