Event description:

Take a tour across time-periods and landscapes – both sinister and superb - with international best-selling authors Kayte Nunn and Tea Cooper in conversation with psychologist and crime writer, A. D. Penhall.

In Kayte Nunn’s The Last Reunion, decades after the end of their service in the ‘Wasbies’ (the Women’s Auxiliary Service, Burma), five British and Australian women are summoned to a New Year's Eve party in Galway. At the core of this reunion are desire, revenge, courage, and the mystery of the stolen Fox-Girl, a Japanese netsuke from the Edo period.

Tea Cooper’s soon to be released, The Fossil Hunter, steps back into the mysterious 19th century location of Wollembi in the Hunter Valley. Seventy years later, at the end of WW1, a connection between a fossil in London’s Natural History museum and her two dead brothers spurs Penelope to find the truth about long buried bodies in Wollembi’s sinister Bow Wow Gorge.
