    Attended Saturday's event and Kate was an amazingly generous and entertaining purveyor of literary advice and intelligence.
    Kate is one of Australia's most read authors, the ultimate local girl made good. Her books sell in huge numbers all over the world and have been translated into many languages. They may not be literary enough for Australian intelligentsia, but the joy of reading Kate's stories is that they are written about ordinary people, using language we all understand. They are a good read.
    Kate's books are not the kind you start, falter and leave half-finished, or that you feel you need to plod on through to the end. We read them because they are accessible and we love them. They sell because they are page turners, and she was kind enough to impart some of her secrets to keep a reader engaged and eager to read on. An entertaining and knowledgeable speaker who was generous enough to stay behind and speak to all her fans.

On the Air and Laughing:  Meekings a Joy to Behold: Reflective Entry  - 11am, Saturday, 27th May 2017 A bundle of joy personified by the beaming presence of Joy Meekings enriched our library for the launch of our seventh series of " An Author for All Seasons " on Saturday, 27th May 2017. 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..... "I was delighted to be asked to participate in Mentone Public Library's series:  An Author for All Seasons . Organised by Julia Reichstein, the series and my talk was launched by City of Kingston councillors Geoff Gledhill and Tamsin Bearsley.  Julia was wonderful to work with, as I have never done anything like this before so needed much guidance!  Her hard work, energy and her capacity for answeri...
