Newstead Short Story Tattoo

Fresh from the Newstead Short Story Tattoo, Josephine Rowe returns to Newstead to launch her greatly anticipated new work of short-short stories.  Josephine’s readings always slay them in the aisles and this event promises to be no exception.  Beautifully illustrated by John Skibinski, How a Moth Becomes a Boat, is in limited release.  This event offers a great opportunity to purchase a new work by one of Australia’s leading female writers.  A very special event set in the central Victorian town of Newstead (15 K’s out of Castlemaine) offers city slickers a great reason to leave the big smoke for the day and be a part of this special event.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
