People of note
A few months shy of celebrating the 1st birthday or the release of my book, Accidental Aid Worker, was an occasion to celebrate with readers, community and two treasured Australians. Legendary Australian author, Tom Keneally, and celebrated community advocate and former NSW Governor General, Professor Dame Marie Bashir.
The words from both appear on the cover of the new edition of Accidental Aid Worker, which is now at 3rd reprint. Professor Bashir kindly launched the edition at an author talk at Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts on 20 September, 2016 and in the company of a community of supporters and 70 keen readers.
- 3rd reprint of the book
