Chic City Crime, Sunday 12 June, 11:00 AM - MIDDAY, the Joy Cowley Room at the Royal Hotel.

Angelique Kasmara (Isobar Precinct) and Anne Harré (The Leaning Man) talk with Paula Morris about their stylish and provocative crime novels that show our cities in a way we’ve never seen them before.

War in the Motu
Sunday 12 June, 11:00 AM – MIDDAY, Waimarie/RSA. $15

There has been a torrent of literature about New Zealanders fighting in foreign wars, and now, finally, the story about wars in our own country is being told. These wars – The Musket Wars (1806-1845) and the New Zealand Wars (1845-1872) – profoundly shaped, and still shape, the course and direction of our nation’s history. Paul Diamond explores the events, causes and consequences of these defining conflicts with writers and historians, Vincent O’ Malley (The New Zealand Wars Nga Pakanga o Aotearoa)and Ron Crosby (The Forgotten Wars: Why the Musket Wars Matter Today).

Women Go Wild
Sunday 12 June, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM, KIWI HALL. $15


Join four writers who have pushed the boundaries exploring sensuality, affairs, passion, and the urgency of physical connections in their work. Tracey Slaughter will chair this steamy session featuring Airini Beautrais (Bug Week), Tracey Slaughter (Devil’s Trumpet), Fiona Kidman (So Far, For Now) and Rebecca K Reilly (Greta & Valdin).
