Join Penelope and Stella for an informal chat at the wonderful Little Gnome Books, which you’ll find at 5/66 Florence Street, Wynnum. This is a ‘pull up a chair and ask us anything’ opportunity. If we’re not out the front, we’ll be scouring the shelves ...

Penelope and Renae’s Library events

❤️ I was lucky enough to read an early copy of Red Dirt Home, Renae’s debut paperback with HQ/ HarperCollins (which I LOVED) so I was delighted when she invited me to join her in conversation at two Queensland library events. We’ll be chatting about books and writing, rural fiction and romance, life as a new author (and an old one!), and we’ll also be answering questions. Renae and I would love to see you at these free events. Please see the links below for booking.

Wednesday 6 March 11.30 - 12.30 Sandgate Library:
