We’re delighted to welcome Queensland author Edwina Shaw to Mary Who? Bookshop for a special evening discussing her powerful new book Dear Madman.

📍 Mary Who? Bookshop
📅 Monday 15th June
🕕 6.00pm — nibbles and light refreshments
🕡 6.30pm — Author presentation

Edwina Shaw is a Queensland author, editor, and creative writing teacher with an extraordinary body of work spanning fiction, memoir, screenwriting, and short stories. She is the author of Dear Madman, Thrill Seekers, A Guide Through Grief, In the Dark of Night, and more, with her work appearing in literary journals and anthologies including Best Australian Stories.

Dear Madman is a gripping and deeply personal story that begins with a shocking crime in 1911, when Edwina’s great-grandfather unknowingly employed a dangerous man whose actions would devastate a family forever. What began as a childhood family story became a search for truth — uncovering a haunting legacy of grief, family myth, and intergenerational trauma.

Join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening exploring true crime, family history, resilience, and the stories that shape us.

🎟️ This is a free event, but registrations are essential.
