It’s a New Zealand Book Month<\/strong> event put on by SpecFicNZ<\/a> and involves 7 locally-based speculative fiction authors, including the internationally recognized Jennifer Fallon<\/strong>, our very own Jane Higgins<\/strong>, fresh from the Writers & Readers section of the NZ International Arts Festival, as well as Diane Berry<\/strong> (who’ll be reading from her new-out book, “Dragons Away”<\/strong><\/em>), Amanda Fitzwater, Liz Gatens, Paul Mannering<\/strong> (who is also MC-ing)—oh yeah, and me!<\/p>\n

So if you live in the Christchurch area and want to hear some fine fiction, this could be the event for you.<\/p>\n

Time:\u00a0 <\/strong>1-3 pm<\/p>\n
