I’m delighted to be heading to Mudgee this August (former home of my literary inspirations, Henry and Louisa Lawson!) as a guest author at the 2025 Mudgee Readers’ Festival. CHECK OUT THE FULL PROGRAM HERE I’ll be appearing at two events:

Where Fact Ends and Fiction Begins Writers of historical fiction walk a fine line—how do they draw the difference between ‘historicising’ fiction and fictionalising history? Join Lauren Keegan, Julie Janson and Kyra Geddes and host Victoria Purman as they attempt to untangle the question. Location: Town Hall Theatre Time: 1pm - 2pm, Saturday 16 August Cost: $15 BOOK HERE

Recognising Louisa Lawson Join novelist Kyra Geddes—author of The Story Thief— and sculptor Margot Stephens—creator of Mudgee’s Louisa Lawson statue—as they discuss their interest in history and how it influences their creative practice. Location: Town Hall Theatre Time: 10.30am - 11.30am, Sunday 17 August Cost: $15 BOOK HERE
