After escaping from the clutches of my evil kitty, I managed to attend a workshop today with Felicity Pulman, yes boys and girls, THE Felicity Pulman of the Janna Mysteries and Shalott series Fame, (amongst other titles.)
During the workshop I also got to sit next to Jane Carroll! (Author of Front Runner and a swagful of other books!) What a humbling experience to be in the presence of two such knowledgeable women.
This workshop was skilfully integrated with a young adult’s session. It was great to have these wonderful young people's feedback, what a pleasure to be able to share this experience with some truly great young minds.
I learnt so much today about the art of crafting an intriguing crime story and the night was completed with a murder mystery party in fabulous 1920’s gangster style, (hence the fancy dress.)
I was so pleasantly surprised at what a fabulous experience the whole day has been and I will never doubt the opportunities available to regional writer’s ever again!
I am so grateful to Felicity for making the effort to travel all the way to Broken Hill and to Marvis from the Library for making the whole thing happen. What inspirational ladies. Thank you both so much!
