BOOK: Only 5 days 'till "Once Were Radicals" is published!!!
My first (and, God-willing, not last) book Once Were Radicals will be published on Monday 4 May 2009. For a short time only, you can read an excerpt from the book here.
There are a number of events happening this month to coincide with the book's publication. On Monday night, the book is being launched by the Hon Laurie Ferguson at Granville in the heart of his electorate.
Details of that launch can be found here.
There will aoso be a launch held in Canberra with ABC TV newsreader and award-winning journalist Virginia Haussegger.
That event will take place on Sunday afternoon, 31 May 2009. Details of that event can be found here.
There will also be an event at Gleebooks in Glebe on Wednesday 13 May 2009, at which I'll be in conversation with author, journalist and blogger Antony Loewenstein.
There are also two events for next month's Sydney Writers' Festival.
The first event will be at the Riverside Theatres, Cnr Church and Market Streets Parramatta when I will be in conversation with Brendan Phelan, Associate of NewMatilda.com.
For more details click here.
The second event will be in Sydney on Saturday afternoon, 23 May 2009 at the Sydney Philharmonia Choir Studio, Pier 4/5, Walsh Bay. Click here for more details.
I'll be somewhat busy during the next month or so, and it's unlikely I'll be blogging much here.
