Can’t wait for the Melbourne and Perth events next week! If you missed out on full day tickets, you can still get tickets at the door for the afternoon signing sessions.
I love how intimate these ARRA events are - definitely put them on your list if you want to chat to authors and fellow readers in a relaxed environment.
