Central Coast Council Libraries are continuing to inspire a love of learning and reading in the community by presenting local author, Chris Monaghan at Bateau Bay Library this month.

Chris is a retired Terrigal High School teacher whose love of history has inspired his three popular novels: The Collection; What Diggers Never told; and Alcibiades - The Enigma.

Council’s Library Services Section Manager, Ms Andrea Edwards said Chris Monaghan will delight and captivate audiences.

“Chris’s love of history shines through in his books and if you haven’t had the pleasure of reading them before now, here is your chance,” said Ms Edwards.

“Come along to hear Chris discuss how he came up with his dynamically thrilling tales and chat about his upcoming novel based on a life of Hatshepsut, a female pharaoh.

“We love supporting our local writers here on the Coast and this is also an opportunity to find out the secrets to his success.”

Enjoy a free morning tea and an opportunity to meet the author on 25 August at 11am.
