About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 45 minutes

Bring along your own crafty project and help launch Kate Solly's second novel, The Paradise Heights Craft Store Stich-Up. From the author of the popular Tuesday evenings with the Copeton craft resistance, this is a cosy crime with a lot of wit. Kate Solly will be in-conversation with fellow author of crime, Kerryn Mayne Lenny Marks Gets Away with Murder, and Joy Moody is Out of Time.

The Shayan Trio will perform a set of original tunes composed to fit the mood. The trio consists of long-time friends and musical collaborators Anita Quayle (cello), Stella Anning (guitar) and Omid Shayan (saxophone) who have been playing together in various bands and formations over many years.

Kate Solly has penned many articles, columns and reviews for various publications, but when she is not writing, she enjoys starting crochet projects and never finishing them.

There will be an assortment of nibbles, coffee, tea and water provided.
