Collins’ book talks to feature poetry, crime and a spy thriller in August

On Sunday, 3 August, spend a relaxed afternoon in the bookstore with a poetry reading from Melbourne-based poet Robyn Rowland. She’ll be reading from Steep Curve, heartwarming reflections on the changing nature of a father-daughter relationship.

On Wednesday 20th, Hayley Scrivenor will be leading a conversation with Tanya Scott, the first of two debut authors we are featuring this month at Ryan’s Hotel.

Of Stillwater Hayley wrote, "Tanya Scott explodes onto the crime scene with this rip-roaring debut that I read in a single sitting. Stillwater is an instant classic of the genre." And I can second that! It’ll be a great conversation. 

The following Wednesday 27th, Sue Turnbull and Sam Guthrie will sit together and deconstruct The Peak – the book everyone’s talking about! Based on the author’s experience working at the nexus of business, politics and international diplomacy across Europe, the US and Asia, The Peak is a nail-biting unputdownable espionage thriller.

Bookings essential through Humanitix.
