Leanne Hill will be performing a reading of Creaturmals Adventure Series Book 1: Making Friends at Port Macquarie Library on Saturday 10th December at 10.30am. The tale was illustrated by Topeka based illustrator Rob Peters, and the project was overseen by Dr Philip Gordon. For author Leanne Hill, creating the Creaturmals' story has been a lifelong journey. She says: "I am very excited as I am almost ready to introduce my special friends to the world. I am writing these books for my children, grandchildren and all individuals that are children at heart and who still allow themselves the pleasure of the greatest gift of all, the imagination." "My aim is to educate the children on a wide range of issues and dangers, plus also engage them with their imagination, allowing them to experience all the beauty that surrounds them, seen or unseen. My stories will capture and bring back the imagination, which is something so valuable that seems to getting lost in this busy life filled with technology." Finding endless inspiration in the smiles that adorn the faces of those who share in her stories - including her own children and grandchildren, Leanne promises that more adventures will follow soon!

A London estate agent finds himself on the wrong side of the law one night, leading to the loss of his driving licence, his job and his home. He decides to visit Spain for a change of scenery but gets more than he bargains for when before long, misfortune, circumstance and a degree of stupidity land him in more trouble than that which brought about his downfall back home.

St Gregory's Catholic High School is plying host to the extremely popular author Simon Adepetun this Saturday at their Christmas fair. Head down to meet the man who wrote the equally popular book 'The Bee Hive'. Eleven-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Chambers has parents Philip and Susan who love work and shopping and who just don't listen. Daniel is an only child ... no, he's lying ... he has a sister, Alice, who has a dolly fixation; Dan is sure she is an alien. So, Dan has a few problems, none insurmountable, until his friend, Benji, introduces him to the find of the century - a derelict bee hive which could become a den. Of course, such a simple thing is never so simple and when Dan finds a map well, all kinds of things just go horribly wrong. For example - Alice noses her nosey way in and two strange men suddenly turn up wanting what's theirs - and then there's the bank, too. The Beehive by Simon Adepetun is a tight little sharp-witted bumble through a short period in Dan's young life. ‘What's a bumble?' - ‘Shut up, Alice!'

Jack Limes will be signing copies of his book 'A Chill Wind Blows' on Saturday 3rd December at WHSmith Bridgemere between 11am-1pm. A portrayal of Soviet Russia from 1929 - 1943 is told with striking realism and truth. It's easy to forget about the war-torn dystopia that was Stalin-led Russia during WWII, but A Chill Wind Blows reminds the reader of the injustices and corruption of the past with unforgiving tragedy.
