Juliet Marillier Author Talk at Margaret River Library

Posted on

Thursday 19th October, 6 – 7:30pm

Margaret River Library is very excited to announce a visit by this well known award winning author. With thanks to WritingWA, Margaret River is Juliet’s first stop in a tour of libraries including Pemberton and Bridgetown.

Juliet was born in Dunedin, New Zealand – the most Scottish city outside Scotland itself – but now lives in Western Australia. Juliet’s novels combine historical fiction, folkloric fantasy, romance and family drama. The strong elements of history and folklore in her work reflect her lifelong interest in both fields. However, her stories focus above all on human relationships and the personal journeys of the characters.

Juliet is currently promoting the third title in the ‘Blackthorn & Grim’ series of historical fantasy/mysteries for adult readers.

As usual, light refreshments will be provided after the talk with a chance to have your book signed by the author. Margaret River Bookshop will be on hand with books for sale.

Please RSVP by 18th October. Email: amrlibrary@amrshire.wa.gov.au Phone: 9780 5600
