Since hitting the literary scene with his best selling novel ‘Wimmera’, Mark Brandi has fast become a well known name to lovers of Australian fiction.
Among these readers are owners of Noosaville’s The River Read, Natalie Webster and Lucinda Morley, who are proud to be hosting Mark this month to launch his latest novel, ‘The Others’.
Lucinda said, “Both ‘Wimmera’ and ‘The Rip’, Mark’s two previous books, have been hugely popular with our customers.”
“He is a prime example of the amazing Australian fiction that readers are loving, ourselves included.
“Having the opportunity to meet Mark and have him speak about his work is a huge honour for us.”
The River Read welcomes this award-winning author to Noosa on Tuesday 27 July with a literary lunch at Noosaville’s Whisky Boy.
‘The Others’ is an unforgettable novel that explores the darkness in our world with the light only a child can find.
Mark’s debut novel ‘Wimmera’, won the coveted British Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger, and was named Best Debut at the 2018 Australian Indie Book Awards. It was also shortlisted for the Australian Book Industry Awards Literary Fiction Book of the Year, and the Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year. His second novel, ‘The Rip’, was published to critical acclaim by Hachette Australia in March 2019.
Mark’s shorter work has appeared in The Guardian, The Age, The Big Issue, and in journals both here and overseas. His writing is also sometimes heard on ABC Radio National.
He graduated with a criminal justice degree and worked extensively in the justice system, before changing direction and deciding to write.
Originally from Italy, he grew up in rural Victoria. Mark now lives in Melbourne and is working on his next work of fiction.
