Join us for our next member’s meeting at the Redcliffe Library Meeting Room at 2pm on Friday, 8th November. Author, Jane Smith, will be speaking about her latest book “Ship of Death” which tells the true story of the ship Emigrant.
Jane Smith is a Toowoomba librarian, author, freelance editor and former physiotherapist who enjoys researching and writing about history – fiction and non-fiction, for children and for adults.
Jane has written a series of five children’s non-fiction books about bushrangers, a biography of Captain Starlight (for adults) and the first eight episodes of the children’s historical fiction series, ‘Tommy Bell, Bushranger Boy’. Three of her children’s books have been short- or long-listed for significant literary awards. Jane’s latest work, Ship of Death: The Tragedy of the Emigrant, combines her fascination for history with her interest in the beautiful Stradbroke Island.
My wife and I are anticipating an interesting talk by Jane.
Copies of the book will be available for sale, and signed
by the author I presume.
Would the price be available?
Hi Wayne,
I’ll confirm whether the books will be available and for what price and update the event with that info. Stay tuned!
