"A woman’s journey of spirit and strength and the impact of domestic violence. Based on a true story, set in Melbourne, this book spans fifty years from the 1940s to the end of the 20th century. The trauma of domestic violence, experienced during Jenny and David’s childhood impacts the life choices both siblings make. David follows in his father’s footsteps and Jenny enters into a dysfunctional marriage. Inspired by true events, it illustrates what happens is not as important as what we do about it. It highlights Jenny’s strength and spirit and her inner journey while coming to terms with her past." - Readings.com.au

Literal Bliss:  Graeme & Elsie Johnstone Reflect  on their Recent Appearance at  Mentone Public Library  - 11am, Saturday, 26 August 2017 Elsie (seated) and  Graeme Johnstone unrolled their red carpet of literary accomplishments at the end of August 2017 at Mentone Public Library Though husband and wife writing duo  Graeme and Elsie Johnstone  penned a haunting, psychological, bleak portrait of a marriage turned sour and lethal in Lover, Husband, Father, Monster , their real-life marriage, could not be any more opposite: supportive, expressive, loving and successful. They are friends, literary partners, supporters and champions of one another and supporters and champions of all local writers. We are huge fans of this dynamic duo here at Mentone Public Library and were delighted to have them back with us after a very long absence.  Here's a little of their experience of their reunion with us in their own words... ...

With a smile, a warmth and a humility concealing a life less than ordinary, Joy let it all burst open and run free with poetic antics, radio comedy and a vibrant recount of how she came to be a writer.  But enough from us, let's hear from Joy.....

An Author for All Seasons Series Three Grand Finale with George Ivanoff - 11am, Saturday, 14th December 2013

Given that I’ll be speaking at the library on Saturday 14 December, I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself prior to the event. So, here goes… I’m an author — which means I write stuff. Lots of stuff! Mostly for kids and teens, but also occasionally for grown-ups as well. To date, I’ve had a total of 72 books published. And there are more on the way. My latest novel is Gamers’ Rebellion . It’s the final book in the Gamers trilogy, which began with Gamers’ Quest in 2009 and continued with Gamers Challenge in 2011. It is Gamers’ Rebellion that I’ll be speaking about at the library event. I won’t be talking too much about the story. What I’ll be focusing on is the writing process — particularly the ways in which it differed from the writing of the other books in the trilogy. Writing is very much a co...
