RAIN CHECK. READERS' HOPES OF MEETING YA AUTHOR LYNETTE NONI DAMPENED BY WILD WEATHER. EX-CYCLONE DEBBIE DISAPPOINTS 100 YOUNG BRISBANE BOOK LOVERS AS TONIGHT'S #ReadLikeAGirl EVENT IS CANCELLED
Announcement posted by Pantera Press 30 Mar 2017
Over 100 Young Adult fiction devotees from across
SEQ, eagerly looking forward to meeting the engaging Lynette
Noni, the author of The Medoran Chronicles, have
been left disappointed as ex-cyclone Debbie has forced the cancellation of
this evening's event at Mt Alvernia College.
Lynette was due to visit Brisbane
this afternoon, where a committee of girls from two local schools - Mt
Alvernia College (Kedron) and St Rita's College (Clayfield) - were planning
a #ReadLikeAGirl event in which they were going to officially launch
Lynette's third book DRAEKORA.
The students and staff at the schools are
devastated. The event will be re-scheduled to a new date in Term 2, 2017.
DRAEKORA will be officially
released by Pantera Press on Saturday 1 April 2017 with a number of events in
Sydney. It will be available from all good bookstores throughout
Australia and New Zealand - plus globally as an eBook from online
retailers. Book one in the series, Akarnae, is currently available at a
special "start the series" price of just $9.99.
While it may be wild, wet and windy outside - it is
the perfect weather to embrace the wonder of this delightful series, full of
fun, fantasy and friendship!
