It was a delight to have her read from her latest book, Brown Dwarf.
Brown Dwarf is a psychological drama that takes place in Hamilton in 1962 and shows the intense relationship of two young girls who seek to track and catch an elusive murderer believed to be hiding out on the escarpment.
Members of St. Paul's book club had already read it and asked some very good questions.
This lovely event not only offered the opportunity for people to meet an author, read her work, and to learn a little bit about the writing process, but Ms. Miller proved to be an excellent presenter.
Delicious refreshments were served at the end of the evening.
Our local Bookseller was present, Bryan Prince Booksellers, to handle the book sales. As many of you may know, Bryan Prince Bookseller is a huge supporter of literary events in Hamilton.
A delightful evening spent with lovely people.
