RAIN CHECK. READERS' HOPES OF MEETING YA AUTHOR LYNETTE NONI DAMPENED BY WILD WEATHER. EX-CYCLONE DEBBIE DISAPPOINTS 100 YOUNG BRISBANE BOOK LOVERS AS TONIGHT'S #ReadLikeAGirl EVENT IS CANCELLED

Over 100 Young Adult fiction devotees from across SEQ, eagerly looking forward to meeting the engaging Lynette Noni, the author of The Medoran Chronicles, have been left disappointed as ex-cyclone Debbie has forced the cancellation of this evening's event at Mt Alvernia College.

Lynette was due to visit Brisbane this afternoon, where a committee of girls from two local schools - Mt Alvernia College (Kedron) and St Rita's College (Clayfield) - were planning a #ReadLikeAGirl event in which they were going to officially launch Lynette's third book DRAEKORA.

The students and staff at the schools are devastated. The event will be re-scheduled to a new date in Term 2, 2017.

DRAEKORA will be officially released by Pantera Press on Saturday 1 April 2017 with a number of events in Sydney.  It will be available from all good bookstores throughout Australia and New Zealand - plus globally as an eBook from online retailers.  Book one in the series, Akarnae, is currently available at a special "start the series" price of just $9.99.

While it may be wild, wet and windy outside - it is the perfect weather to embrace the wonder of this delightful series, full of fun, fantasy and friendship!

Luckily, there are still places left at a number of free writing workshops across Brisbane next week as part of Brisbane Libraries School Holiday and Youth Week activities.  Four different workshops throughout Brisbane are on offer over two days, plus an in-store signing:
