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... ...

Mentone Public Library Blog George Ivanoff Speaking — 14 Dec 2013 "Hello Mentone Public Library Blog readers. 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.
