Flat Water Tuesday: Indie Bound Selection for June, 2013!

Very pleased to note that my novel, Flat Water Tuesday has been chosen by USA independent booksellers as an Indie Bound Selection for June, 2013.

Franschhoek Literary Festival 2013, South Africa

Very pleased to note that I will be talking about my new novel, Flat Water Tuesday (comes out in SA on June 4) at the Franschhoek Literary Festival with John Maytham on  Friday, May 17 at 4 PM at “art in the yard gallery”. I think we will be selling books there as well!

On Saturday May 18 at 2:30 PM THIS happens:

Event: What do publishers want? (Church Hall)

Random House Penguin publisher Steve Connolly quizzes Melinda Ferguson (M F Books, a Jacana imprint with a focus on black women’s stories), Debra Primo (UKZN Press) and American Ron Irwin, a UCT academic who teaches creative writing and doubles as a literary agent.

At 4 PM on the same day, THIS happens:

Event: A sense of place (Church Hall)

Christopher Hope engages with three authors whose recent novels have a strong sense of place: Ken Barris on growing up in PE, Alistair Morgan who sets The Land Within on a former family farm in the Karoo, and Ron Irwin who writes about an obsession with rowing in an American boys’ school.

I hope to see lots of people from the South African creative community there!
