Author overcomes juvenile illiteracy to write novel

There are so many authors out there with university degrees, scholarships, and letters after their names. So, why would you want to read a book by an unknown author with little education? Sometimes the best story tellers, come from the most unlikely people. Everybody has a story to tell, whether you are educated with multiple degrees, or a nobody.

Annette Kontoleon’s book Wantonness has lust and an atmosphere of historical romance, one that will transport lovers of the genre back to different time and morality. The use of detail is effective and evocative and sets the scene and tone. The book is stimulating, flirty, and an intelligent romp through a genre that is too often reduced to tedious cliché.

Part one of the trilogy, Wantonness starts in the late 1800’s and is about a wealthy family of four brothers, how in the end they each have completely different lifestyles. This passage through time intertwines over one-hundred years of genealogy. 

Annette was inspired by the older generations of her friends and relatives. Though not all her family were elated at the thought of having their dirty laundry aired.

The official book launch of Wantonness will be held at the Arts Centre, Gold Coast (135 Bundall Rd, Bundall) on the 4th February 2017 at 7pm with a formal dress code and $65 cover charge. This includes a live performance of two scenes from the book and a free, signed copy of the book.
