EMILY EMU CHICK

                                           EMILY EMU CHICK

Watch this space for the next book to be launched this year 2012.
Emily Emu Chick illustrated by Helen Leach of Halls Gap Victoria, is on the run!

A launch date has been set so mark your calendars for September 26th at the MOCO Gallery Halls Gap in the heart of the Grampians, Victoria.

I will again be touring the tiny country schools with the help of Librarian Linda in Tongala, and Librarian Kerrie Wilson in Stawell as part of The National Year of Reading. 
This relates to Emily's story as you will all find out when the book hits the shops.

Meanwhile Helen is having a well earned rest and l'm gearing up for the launch.

HOW TO LAUNCH A GOAT

                                                 HOW TO LAUNCH A GOAT

On Tuesday April 24th at the Tongala Library Mother McGinty's Goat was launched by Jenny Mustey,
Library Services Manager of the Campaspe Regional Library as part of the National Year of Reading.

Tied up at the front door of the library was Dory a very friendly, rose eating goat who welcomed all guests (many thanks to Dale for bringing her along).

Susie was later invited to attend the Goat Fair at Bendigo and is now well versed in all goat facts and at a pinch could rustle up a recipe for goat soap with the help of Victorian Goat Association members.

Hope you enjoy the photos taken at the opening - note that as a result of this trip Brian has found a vehicle perfect for book selling and accomodation while on the road selling books and promoting them.  It will be christened "the book mobile" and is yet to be sign written and converted to a comfy camper. Many thanks to Ken and Bev for all their help.
