Following the overwhelming success of this month's sold-out evening with bestselling author Liane Moriarty, Shellharbour City Library is inviting book lovers to secure their seats for two more special author events in October.
Internationally acclaimed authors Michael Robotham and Fiona McIntosh will visit Shellharbour City Library as part of the Library's popular Visiting Author Series, giving readers the opportunity to hear firsthand about their latest books, writing journeys and the stories behind their success.

Shellharbour City Mayor Chris Homer said the popularity of recent author events demonstrated the community's strong passion for literature and lifelong learning.
"Our recent event featuring Liane Moriarty and Holly Wainwright attracted an incredible response and reinforced the value of bringing renowned authors to Shellharbour."

"We're delighted to welcome Michael Robotham and Fiona McIntosh to our city and encourage anyone who enjoys a great story to book early to avoid missing out."
Both events will be held at Shellharbour City Library in Shellharbour City Centre, with audience members able to meet the authors and have books signed following the presentations.
