I would love to see you at the Sydney Writers’ Festival. Why not take the day off (I hear Thursday is the best day!! Not that I’m biased) and immerse yourself in writing and literature. My event is at 10 am, it’s free, and the theme is:

Today’s world with its environmental disasters and financial catastrophes lends itself to thriller treatment as John M. Green and L.A. Larkin demonstrate. Do these themes reflect the fears of our time and can fiction change the way people think? They talk to Catherine Cole about what keeps us in suspense. http://www.swf.org.au/component/option,com_events/Itemid,124/agid,2708/task,view_detail/
