Blackmore, who grew up in Kurri, will speak about her writing, her journey and her inspirations.
The author has drawn on her local knowledge to write a novel set in the harsh convict settlement of colonial Newcastle.
Road to Redemption tells the story of men and women who helped shape the picturesque harbour into the city it is today.
Blackmore’s novel was picked up by an American publisher well before it was published here in Australia.
It will be available for purchase and signing on the day, at Kurri Library at 10am and Cessnock Library at 2pm.
Morning and afternoon tea will be provided at the event and bookings are essential.
Call Kurri Library on 4937 1638 or Cessnock Library on 4993 4399 to reserve your spot.
