August book events at Takapuna Library

Ian Austin, ex-cop and crime writer 

When: Wednesday 27 July, 6pm - 7.30pm
Where: Takapuna Library, first floor
Cost: $3 (members $2)

An ex-cop turned writer and a natural storyteller with a host of stories to tell. This is one author event you won’t want to miss!

 

The agency is a page-turning cat and mouse thriller featuring Detective Dan Calder that will keep you enthralled until the bitter end.

Ian’s writing style is very descriptive, formed over many years of dealing with reports, statements and interviews for the Courts and juries where detailed reports that painted a picture were required.

His ability to communicate with his audience and allow them to see, hear, feel, touch and taste what is happening on the page is as uncommon as it is satisfying.

Light refreshments will be served at 6pm and the author talk will begin at 6.30pm.

Copies of The agency will be available for purchase and signing on the night courtesy of Glenfield PaperPlus.

To RSVP for this event, email helen.woodhouse@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or call (09) 890-4903.
