AUTHOR FEATURE: Catch Tilly’s anti-bullying focus
Friday 20 March marked National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA). With everything else going on in the world at the moment, it passed by with a whisper rather than a bang. Yet, prior to the current pandemic situation, bullying was in the headlines and at the centre of debate. It was also the initial drive for author Catch Tilly when she first began writing her young adult fiction novel, Otherwise Known as Pig.
Here’s to a lovely Book Market weekend
And what a weekend it was.
People everywhere, delicious sausages (have I mentioned how much I like sausage sizzles?), bargains galore, author signings and readings – but the best part was all the people who came out to celebrate with us.
We feel like we’ve met a little more of the neighbourhood now – and like we’ve been welcomed with open arms. Thanks so much, guys. It’s so lovely getting to know you all. And for all our old friends who made the trek across town: thanks so much for coming, because it was bloody lovely to see you all too!
And for those of you who were with us when the heavens opened on Saturday afternoon – wasn’t it spectacular?! We made a mad dash to get all books, people and sausages inside. I am very relieved to say that not a single sausage was ruined by rain. The books and people seemed to come out of it okay, too.
Thanks so much for coming out, y’all! Here’s to Book Market 2015!
