Pirate Ball
It’s official. I can wear corsets again.
And with three book launches this year, it’s not a moment too soon.
Do you live in Australia?
Do you live reasonably close to Canberra?
Do you love the Narnia books?
Do you love pirates?
Do you love live music?
Do you love dancing (and/or watching others dance)?
Do you love dressing up (and/or seeing those who do)?
Do you love chocolate coins and fairy bread?
Do you love prizes?
On Saturday February 17th 2018, the first book in my tween magical pirate trilogy will be released with an enormous free PIRATE BALL hosted by the epic Earthly Delights Historic Dance Academy.
They have agreed to run a pirate ball for their monthly extravaganza (7pm-11pm, $25) AND a free mini-ball/book launch for me from 6:30-7pm with lots of great beginner dances for all ages. My kids will be there, that’s for sure.
There will be prizes for best dressed, and for the treasure hunt.
There will be live music.
There will be professional dancers scattered among the crowd.
There will be wonderful and enthralling outfits both piratical and historical.
There will be free food.
There will be my Rather Excellent fantasy pirate novel, The Monster Apprentice, on sale and ripe for signings (along with Heart of Brass and Silver and Stone, naturally).
Date:
Saturday February 17th 2018

Canberra Baptist Church Hall, Currie St, Kingston

Free book launch and mini-ball 6:30pm-7:00pm including prizes and activities.
