Michelle will be in conversation with Catherine du Peloux Menagé from BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival, pulling apart the twists, turns, and terror lurking inside Barren Cape.

• Venue: Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts (SMSA), 280 Pitt Street, Sydney, 2000

AUTHOR EVENT
MEET JAMES L CAMBIAS

SF readers are in for a real treat just before Star Wars Day in May! US science fiction author James L Cambias is visiting Australia and looking forward to connecting with local readers for the release of the next instalment in his large scale Billion Worlds saga.

The Miranda Conspiracy is a direct sequel to The Godel Operation, a novel that inspired Paul di Filippo to coin a new sub-genre: Radical Fun SF, a blend of "solid speculative science [and] sense-of-wonder thrills." The reading experience recaptures the joy of discovering SF for veteran readers.

James will be happy to sign your books, answer your questions on all things SFF and read you a sample from his works. Don't miss your chance to meet with such a highly regarded author!
