Make Sure You're At GBF Book Night!

This is an exciting year for authors in Botswana. We have two literary events to look forward to. The first will be a celebration of World Book Day this next Monday (April 23) at the UB Library Auditorium starting at 5 pm.

I’m very excited to be part of this event. I’ll be speaking about writing historical fiction and about my historical novel, The Scattering (I’ve just sign a new contract with Penguin Random House for my second historical novel with them).

The other authors on the progamme that evening are:  Modirwa Kekwaletswe, Kagiso Madibana, and Thabo Katlholo. The Choppies Group of Companies is financially supporting the GBF Book Night. Botswana Gazette and The Business Weekly and Review are the media partners.  After the formal programme there will be book sales and book signings, so I hope to see many people there. Remember to bring your copies of any of my books so I can sign them too. Some of my other titles, besides The Scattering, will be on sale as well.
