YOU’RE INVITED… by Awa Press
Put these in your diaries:

WELLINGTON: August: An Afternoon in Summer by Kathy Giuffre will be launched in August at the Cook Islands High Commission in Wellington. Watch this space for date and time. This captivating story of a single mother who escapes her stressful life as a university lecturer in Colorado to live in Rarotonga for a year  with her two young sons has won praise from author Kapka Kassabova, who says: ‘A delightful and refreshing read, brimming with sensuality and intelligence … a love letter to the people of Rarotonga … Kathy’s hilarious observations had me laughing out loud.’


WELLINGTON: Monday, September 6, 12.15 – 1.15pm, Te Papa Marae: Harry Ricketts and a panel of sports writers discuss New Zealand sports and the people who write about them. Don’t miss this chance to hear some terrific speakers, and get Harry and other contributors to sign copies of The  Awa Book of New Zealand Sports Writing; it will be on sale in the Te Papa store.

CHRISTCHURCH: Sunday, September 12, 3.30–4.30pm at the Town Hall complex: Harry Ricketts and a panel of sports writers (including Pauline O’Regan!) talk about The Awa Book of New Zealand Sports Writing. Pauline claims to be the only nun ever to have been carried from a rugby field.
