Walk on the Wild Side
NEWC is thrilled to be able to offer an additional special event, featuring our visiting author Matthew Thompson, as well as fellow non-fiction author Kay Saunders, who will be in Armidale to promote her latest book and will also be doing a book signing at Dymocks at 11:00 am the same day.
Come and meet these two fabulous authors, hear about their striking books, which tell true stories of extraordinary lives, and enjoy some light refreshments in the pleasant setting of the gallery.

Historian Kay Saunders’ new book Deadly Women, which has just been released, explores the chilling and pitiful stories of Australia’s most infamous female murderers, and is a follow-up to her earlier book, Notorious Australian Women, profiling rebels, rabble-rousers and bad girls from Australia’s history. A Professor of History at the University of Queensland from 2002-2006, Kay Saunders AM is also the recipient of the National Museum’s Medal. | |
