When Mary-Lou Stephens hung up her microphone at ABC Sunshine Coast, she embarked on a new life, living her dream as a bestselling author.
She has had two very successful novels with Harper Collins, Last of the Apple Blossom and The Chocolate Factory, and soon she will be presenting her third romantic historical novel, The Jam Maker.
Don’t miss the launch of Mary-Lou’s brand new novel, The Jam Maker, on the footpath at Annie’s Books on Peregian on Thursday 27 February from 6pm.
All of Mary-Lou’s books have a firm basis in Australian history.
She has woven compelling stories and memorable characters around some important, yet lesser known events and stories.
The Jam Maker is set in Tasmania, as are her other novels, and the story takes place around the jam factories of Hobart, and is a story of lies, deceit and danger – who would have thought the jam industry could be so fraught?
“Mary-Lou is a wonderful speaker, and we are so excited that she will be in conversation with our erudite and entertaining Mayor Frank Wilkie,“ Annie said.
Enjoy a glass of wine and some finger food at the event. Afterwards you can take advantage of Peregian Beach Village’s wonderful restaurants and bars.
This is a free event with limited seating but you are welcome to bring a folding chair.
