Come and meet author and journalist, Michael Burge

Michael Burge is my guest on Thursday Book Club tomorrow night. Many of you will know him from his journalism for Guardian Australia’s Rural Network, a platform for regional reporting in Australia’s country regions. Or perhaps you might know him from his articles on the Special Commission of Inquiry into LGBTIQ hate crimes. For others of you, Michael will have come to your attention with his debut novel, Tank Water.  You may also know him as the co-owner of The Maker's Shed.  Situated in Glen Innes, The Maker's Shed is a gallery and book shop that is both the central hub of High Country Books and the home of the High Country Book Club, hosted by Michael each month.

So there's clearly lots to discuss at Thursday Book Club tomorrow night!  I hope you can join us.

On Thursday 10 August, I'll be coming to Canberra to be in conversation with Barbie Robinson at the beautiful Book Cow independent bookshop in Kingston. Canberra people, I'd love your company. The event is free and you can register for it here.  

Finally, for those of you who weren't able to make my book launch in Sydney, Orange (Shiang-Yuan) Kao kindly videoed the speeches by Jane Palfreyman (my publisher), Tom Keneally and me. You can watch them on my YouTube channel.
