It’s confirmed: NSW Premier Kristina Keneally will join Stephanie Dowrick at the Sydney Theatre on Saturday May 23rd at 10am to discuss the subject of Forgiveness, as part of this week’s Sydney Writers Festival. This event was “re-engineered” following Elizabeth Gilbert’s sudden cancellation of her SWF appearances, one of which was a conversation with Stephanie Dowrick. Imagine my surprise at being asked to moderate this new discussion. Excited and daunted, all at once. Four sessions now, and much preparation still to do … Please come! And don’t forget to bring your forgiveness with you …

Long time no post, but I’ve finally updated my website with the events I’m facilitating/chairing at the Sydney Writers Festival later this month. While I’m always sorry to leave New York – and never more so than this time – I am thrilled at the opportunity to meet and talk publicly with these interesting and diverse authors.

There’s one more exciting/terrifying event about to be made public but I’ll keep that under wraps for now.
