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.
