Some future public events are being planned, but not announceable yet. Some bookings are already in the diary for school visits, Wisdom Tree house concerts, etc, but there’s still room for more.
23 AUGUST 2019 – BRISBANE
6.00pm Bjelke Blues book launch, Kurilpa Hall, West End
I have a piece in this anthology and will be reading, as will other people with far bolder Bjelke stories to tell.
2 SEPTEMBER 2019 – BRISBANE
6.00pm A Tribute to Andrew McGahan, The Greek Club, West End
I have blogged about Andrew’s death, and this is an event to celebrate his life and work, and the publication of his final novel, The Rich Man’s House.
24 OCTOBER 2019 – REDLAND
6.00pm Since I have yet to bring it the Bayside, I’ll be at Capalaba Library talking Wisdom Tree. (FREE event, but remember that organisers panic less when people book.)
Hi Nick, it was such a pleasure meeting you and Terry earlier this week at Cleveland Library. It think it was a great event and you managed to keep almost 150 kids/ people entertained and engaged for an hour! WOW! Impressive. I hope you and Terry survive and enjoy the rest of your tour.
Gillian Milburn (Branch Librarian – Cleveland Library)
Hi Gillian. It was very good to meet you too and thanks for having everything so well set up for the event. And what a great bunch of kids they were. The only thing we had to try to manage was their enthusiasm, which is exactly what you hope for, but not always how it works out.
Just wondering if you will have word hunter for sale at jimboomba library on Friday. Have tried the local bookshop (boonah) but they don’t have it in stock. Could you bring two copies for me to purchase. Thankyou, Lesley.
I’m glad to hear you’re coming – thanks for that. Jimboomba’s ‘That Book Place’ will be there selling books, so we should have no problem making sure you end up with two copies. Thanks again.
The kids and their visiting coast cousins loved seeing you at jimboomba on Friday. When they left our place on Friday afternoon – with much merriment – they stuck their heads out the window and yelled ‘that is all’.
You have four new fans.
Hearing that is a real highlight of the tour. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi Nick,
thanks for coming to Ashgrove State School. I really like your books because they are fun and exciting. I am just reading the Word Hunters numbers 1 and I think its great. I can’t wait to read the next two – hopefully there will be more.
Thanks again

Hi Henry,
It’s great to hear that – I really appreciate it. After all the research and planning (and writing and illustrating), it’s very good to know that the books actually work when people read them.
Thank you.
Nick
Let’s pray we are home by the time your Brisbane sesh happens… 🙂
I’m hoping you’re home soon, and that things go as well as they can in the meantime. You’re on a lot of people’s minds back here.
Thanks Nick. We’ve had some news today, so might just make it by the skin of our teeth… although I do have a request: Could you do your launch in Spanish too for my girl?
