'Mary Read' - Library Talks

I had a great time doing the library talks on 'Mary Read'.
It was lucky I had the practice of such a small, cosy group at Caboolture, because almost 30 people came to the Redcliffe talk! I was nervous, but there were a few familiar faces in the crowd, and it all went very well.
I sold most of my books, enough to order another 20 through Amazon. I have been encouraged to approach the alternative Avid Reader bookshop in Brisbane, to see if they will sell 'Mary Read', and I am now awaiting their answer.
Thanks to everyone who came, and to Tina Cavanough from the Moreton Bay Libraries for doing such a great job of organising this event.

Library Talks - The True Story of the Pirates of the Caribbean

I am in the middle of giving a series of lectures in local libraries, on the Caribbean pirates. This is to promote my novel 'Mary Read - Sailor, Soldier, Pirate'.
The first talk was at Caboolture Library, and though only six people turned up, three bought books, and all were very encouraging and interested. David Adams also bought Russell and I coffee, and entertained us for over an hour with an interesting discussion on history - did you know 3,000 women fought in the trenches of Flanders in World War 1? Me neither. A really great morning.
My next talk is at Redcliffe library tomorrow at 10.30am, with 20 people booked in, so I'm glad I've already had the practice with a smaller group.
Then: Monday 10th February at Burpengary Library at 10.30am,
         Saturday 22nd February at Albany Creek Library at 10am.
