After spending the last few months honing my ability to talk about The Wounded Guardian, I'm about to put it all to the test when I go out to talk about The Risen Queen this weekend.
After answering just about every question imaginable about The Wounded Guardian, my inspirations, my motivation and how I came to write, I have suddenly realised I am back to square one with those who want to know about book two ... what do people want to know? How do I sum it up for those who may not have read book one yet?
Still, after the weekend I have planned for myself, I think I'll be learning quickly!
For those disappointed their local store is not on the list - don't panic. I'll be back to Parramatta, Liverpool and Campbelltown next year, while the Macquarie Centre, Penrith, Rouse Hill and Warringah are also on the list of places I'll be hitting around February.
Plus, for anyone in the area, I'll be at Angus and Robertson Batemans Bay on Saturday January 17 from 10am-12pm. Yes, even on my holiday I'll be slotting in a store appearance!
So - the weekend's action is as follows:
Sunday December 20: A+R Kotara from 10.30am-12.30pm, Borders Tuggerah from 2pm-4pm
Monday December 21: A+R Maitland from 9.30am-11.30am, A+R Newcastle Mall from 12pm-2pm
Tuesday December 22: (this is the big day, so all times could be a little fluid!) Leading Edge Books Lakehaven from 10am-11.30am, A+R Erina from 12pm-1.30pm, All Good Books Gosford from 2pm-3pm and Book Bazaar from 3.30pm-4.30pm
Wednesday December 23: Borders Hornsby 5pm-6.30pm
After that, I think I'll collapse...
Hope to see as many people as possible along the way though!

ReplyDeleteWell, due to my parents wanting to go out for dinner with friends who happen to have little kids I'll be unable to get to Tuggerah this afternoon. I was really looking forward to it too...

Hi Duncan. I was on my rushing past you to go into Borders Hornsby to meet up with my husband and children when you caught my eye and signed a copy of your first book The Wounded Guardian which I then purchased. Well I ate the book up and then got the second book and have just finished The Risen Queen. I am in awe it has been a very joyous read indeed. I look forward to The Radiant Child with anticipation of your what will come in that book. Thank you I will be one of the first to get the next book. My family will be happy to have some time back with me and I can now sleep a bit, until your next book. Well done and keep writing.
