The event with bestselling local author Karly Lane was a great success!
It was wonderful to have so many community members gather to hear Karly discuss her latest romance novel, The One That Got Away, with 20 enthusiastic community members engaged in an interesting Q&A with the author.
Attendees gained a fascinating insight into Karly's creative process, what it takes to get a book published, and how fictional stories can aid in finding hope and healing from past experiences.
Copies of her novel were available for purchase, allowing fans to take a piece of the magic home.
Library members can also reserve a copy from the library - just hop onto our library website and reserve a copy from our catalogue!
Alex Kelly's future is nearly sorted: she has a life she loves in London, a dream job, and plans to buy a cute cottage in the English countryside. There's just one last step: selling the family home her father left her in the small Australian seaside town of Rockne Heads. The place Alex has spent almost two decades trying to forget.
Alex hopes to get in and out again as quickly as she can, however word that she's back in town instantly spreads . . . along with old gossip and dangerous grudges. Sully McCoy has spent the last twenty years distancing himself from his father's reputation and has made a good life for himself and his daughter in Rockne Heads. Yet now Alex Kelly is back in town and somehow still turning his life upside down.
He thought he'd never see her again. And Alex is making it perfectly clear that she's not here to relive old memories—she's here to end them once and for all.
As old wounds reopen, Alex fears the secret she vowed to take to her grave will be exposed. And this time, she won't be able to run.
We are deeply grateful to Karly Lane for sharing her time and insights with us. Her passion for storytelling not only captivated but also inspired everyone present.
Thank you to all who attended and made this a truly lovely event!
