My friends piled into Readings Bookstore for the launch of ALIEN SHORES - authors Jen McVeity, Hazel Edwards, Meredith Costain, Paul Collins, Rose Inserra, illustrator Marjory Gardner. Love them.
Julian Burnside QC gave a moving speech to launch ‘Alien Shores’ edited by Sharon Rundle and Meenakshi Bharat. I felt overwhelmed by Julian’s description of a refugee who converted to Christianity and would have been stoned brutally if forced back to Iran.
Arnold Zable read a segment from his story in ‘Alien Shores’.
Sharon Rundle and I spoke on ABC Radio National with the insightful Michael Cathcart about ‘Alien Shores’.
Michael Cathcart also talked about my personal story in ‘Ships in the Field’ illustrated by Anna Pigantaro and how that related to ‘Alien Shores’.
Thankyou Meredith Costain and Marjory Gardner – great author and illustrator friends for you warm and wonderful emails about the ABC Life Matters programme with Richard Aedy.
I love ABC radio – what would we do without ‘Aunty’. ABC is committed to sharing Australian stories and our voice.
THANKYOU Richard Aedy and the producer for a great interview on ‘Always Jack’.
The interview is on ABC National:-

‘Sex and drugs have always been difficult topics to address with young children. But what about cancer?
Susanne Gervay has been in this situation more than once battling bouts of breast cancer and other tumours.
Her new book Always Jack deals with how to help children cope when their parents are diagnosed with cancer.’
