“Big Read” a Big success!

The festive atmosphere at Rosebud library was a welcome sight with bright yellow balloons festooned right throughout. It was a hive of activity last Saturday on the 25th of August as crowds poured in to participate in the fun-filled “Big Read” events. Children lined up to meet their favorite authors and get their books signed, while adults stopped to browse and engaged in interesting conversations with the local authors. We had excellent results that day with several people purchasing signed copies. I was very pleased to meet other authors from the Peninsula and we enjoyed each others company immensely as we shared our literary experiences. The library staff were friendly and supportive and did a marvelous job promoting the event as the crowds did not ease till nearly closing time at 2pm. I will certainly be part of this event in 2013 too, as it’s a great way to promote my books and meet  other writers out there. A great big thank you to the friendly staff at the library. Well done!

Almost a decade has passed since we first walked with Katie.

This is a chilling, gripping tale which portrays the life of a  lonely, lost teenager, tossed in a turbulent sea of drugs, sex and violence.

Katie Brown grows up in a destructive environment and most of her brief life is spent searching for an elusive love.

Katie pays the supreme price for her misspent youth and proves that there are no winners in the drug scene and that the destructive road downhill ultimately leads her to the edge of nowhere.
