Kerstin Pilz Launches Special Series of Author Talks at Cassowary Coast Libraries
Cassowary Coast resident and author of ‘Loving My Lying, Dying, Cheating Husband’ Kerstin Pilz attracted an intimate audience today at the Innisfail Library launching a special series of Author Talks.
In the first event of eight across Cassowary Coast Libraries featuring authors Annie Seaton and Barbara Hannay, Kerstin delighted the audience with the story behind her memoir about a whirlwind romance gone wrong.
“I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to share my story through a national audience, however, to do so in my home region of the Cassowary Coast is extra special,” Kerstin said.
“Telling this story within a small community such as Mission Beach has been warmly received throughout the publishing experience and promotional tour, and I’m excited to now share it with people who live here.
“We’re lucky to have such great support from Cassowary Coast Libraries and I thank them for inviting me to present at this Author Talk series.”
Cassowary Coast Library and Museum Services’ Author Talks series will also present Annie Seaton, author of fictional historical saga ‘The Daughters of the Darling’ who’ll talk about the first book of the series ‘From Across the Sea’.
Culminating the series will be Barbara Hannay whose soon-to-be-released novel ‘The Wife’s Secret’ is set in a location inspired by the Cassowary Coast. Barbara will share her inspiration for this tropical far-north Queensland setting at Mission Beach and Innisfail libraries.
Registration to attend can be made online at cassowarycoast.qld.gov.au/libraries or by calling Cassowary Coast Library and Museum Services at 1300 366 616 or email library@ccrc.qld.gov.au.
Ends.

Author Talk with Barbara Hannay
When a cyclone brings a massive tree smashing into Lisa’s roof – into the home Rolf built and where they raised their family – their son Dave convinces Rolf that he must do the repairs. Tensions abound when Rolf arrives with glamorous stage star Renata, along with a pretty young publicist who stirs up complications for Dave and his new restaurant business as well. Set on the picturesque coastline of Queensland’s tropical far north, this is an uplifting story about resurrecting hope and unearthing love, even through the most turbulent of times.
