I would love if you could join me for the birthing of my new book ‘The Last Hug For A While’.
‘The Last Hug For While’ charts the last year and a half through a series of rhyming sentences and drawings that popped into my head following interactions, conversations and random thoughts.
Kate Kennelly (Kerry Arts Officer) will open the evening and writer Michael Harding will formally ‘birth the book’. You are invited to wear something yellow and/or black for the occasion (if you wish) and make sure you have something to drink so we can toast the birth together!
Signed first edition copies are available on the link below and will be posted after the book birthing.
Thank you in advance for your presence at 8 on the 8th! x Lisa
