About this Event

Join us for a special event with author Margaret Hickey! Get ready for an evening filled with fascinating stories, insights, and a sneak peek into her upcoming book 'The Creeper'. This in-person event is a fantastic opportunity to meet the author in real life as she discusses her thrilling stories and writing with local author Tess Woods. Don't miss out on this exciting chance to dive into the world of literature with Margaret Hickey!

Margaret is an award-winning author and playwright from North East Victoria. She has a PhD in Creative Writing and is deeply interested in rural lives and communities. She is the author of bestselling novels 'Cutters End' 'Stone Town' and 'Broken Bay' and winner of the BAD Danger Prize and a Ned Kelly Award nominee. This is her only event in WA!

The landscape is again a major feature of Margaret’s new book – set in the mountainous high country of Victoria, near where Marg lives. 'The Creeper 'follows ambitious Detective Constable Sally White – the only officer at Edenville’s modest police station – and her obsession with a local historical massacre. 10 years previous, five hikers were murdered on Jagged Ridge. Also found dead near the scene was Bill ‘Creeper’ Durant, a bushland loner, expert deer-hunter, and a man with a known reputation for stalking campers. Conclusion: M**der-suicide. Case closed. But as Sally combs through the old investigation, it becomes all too clear that each murdered hiker had skeletons in their closet - and possible enemies in their past.

About the host:

Tess once had a simple life until her compulsion to write made-up stories complicated everything. She’s now an award winning and best selling author of contemporary fiction. Her novels have been published across North America and sold into Europe for translation. Her fourth novel, 'The Venice Hotel", is due for release with Penguin Random House this coming September.
