We loved meeting kids’ and teens’ author Sarah Ayoub in the bookshop. A journalist who also teaches at University of Sydney and sits on the board of the Australian Society of Authors, she’s a busy person. So we’re delighted that she also had time to create Amira Swift - a chatty, energetic 7-year-old who loves to dance.

Book 1 is Amira Swift: Talent Show, with terrific illustrations by nina nilsson. Sarah tells us the forthcoming series will be about dance, friendship, family and celebrating Lebanese-Australian culture in stories for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks so much Sarah Ayoub 😊

😁 It’s here! Myf Warhurst’s brand-new book, Middle Rage, hit the shelves this week. We can’t wait to get stuck in and get across Myf’s wisdom and hard-won life lessons in what we hear is a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest memoir. Congratulations Myf Warhurst !

Sold out! All the tickets are now gone for our event with Myf and Holly Wainwright 🤩 If you’re one of the 160-odd who’ll be in the room - see you there!

How do you know Ryan Butta? Maybe from his earlier non-fiction books, The Ballad of Abdul Wade and The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli. And maybe from seeing him around town - he’s a local author who knocks about Kiama pretty regularly. We predict you’ll be seeing a lot more of his new book, Blackbirding: A Reckoning with the Australian Slave Trade. He confronts Australia’s unspoken history of slavery head-on an a work of immersive historical research combined with compelling storytelling. You can learn more at a Kiama Library event on 10 October.

✌️Book 2 is out! Local author Ruby Jean Cottle is back home from the Byron Writers Festival, where she chatted with none other than about her spine-tingling, swoon-worthy vampire romance series. So great! White Mountain is the sequel to Ruby’s Black River duology - and we hear the plot has an epic twist! If you like fantasy in your YA fiction, these will fill your cup.

Congratulations .jean.cottle - so good to see you
