I have never been ashore at Moonee Ponds, and make the first acquaintance with some of its citizens here. And a very good set of fellows they are."

View Instagram post by mooneevalleylibrariesA warm, funny and thoroughly engaging night at Sam Merrifield Library as we welcomed Christian White for a solo author talk last Tuesday. With a full room and plenty of returning faces, Christian had everyone laughing and leaning in as he shared his writing journey, his love of horror and Stephen King, the surprise of winning the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript, and the challenge of naming his books.
He described the gripping opening hook of `The Long Night` which drew an audible gasp from those who hadn’t read it yet. Fans were thrilled to hear we can expect new books from him in 2027 and 2028. Head to our website to explore Christian’s recommended reads, you might discover something unexpected!
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We loved sharing this evening with you.
