Upcoming Bookish Events • There are some great bookish events globally and we’ll be heading to as many as we can. You might see us at a few—others we’ll have to miss, but we still think they’re worth your time. If you’re a reader, writer, or industry pro, check them out.

Editor’s Letter

A good POUR and a better story‌

THE MAN AT THE DOOR • Candice Fox has written many books. She’s drawn inspiration from everywhere else. And then, for once, the story came from home.

UNSOLVED • These two unsolved murders helped spark Redbelly Crossing, the latest novel by Candice Fox. While the book is a work of fiction and not connected to the real cases, Candice has been clear that these crimes stayed with her and prompted her to draw attention back to them. The NSW Government is offering rewards of up to $1 million for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report confidentially online via Crime Stoppers NSW.
