1) The Speed of Light book launch –
On Thursday August 14th at 6pm we join with Joy Cowley, and Gecko Press
to launch “Speed of Light”, Joy’s new novel.
When a strange old woman is literally
blown in to an affluent but dysfunctional family, and when things go wrong, her
influence is suspect.
With a father more interested in money
than family, a brother in prison, a sister with a secret, and a mother in
denial, it’s no wonder Jeff buries himself in the safe world of mathematics.
When a storm hits Wellington, a strange old woman is blown into Jeff’s life, challenging everything he thinks is true.
