Inspiration for budding writers

KEEN young writers will be able to draw on the experience of author Gabriel Bergmoser when he visits the Wangaratta Library in the coming school holidays.

Gabe will be talking about his new book, 'Andromache in the Dark', a page-turning, action-packed sequel to last year's 'Andromache Between Worlds' that is perfect for fans of the Jane Doe Chronicles series.

It centres on Andromache Peters, who thought saving her dad from a parallel universe would be the end of her adventures - until Vincent Black, the villain who sent him there, escapes from prison.

Suddenly, everything Andromache fought so hard for is at risk, so when a secret organisation asks Andromache for help in catching Black, she's all too ready to say yes - especially with her best friends Rylee and Tobias along for the ride.

As Andromache's quest takes her to strange and dangerous new worlds filled with robot police, giant centipedes and suspicious soldiers, she'll soon learn that sometimes the deadliest threats come from the last place you'd expect.

Gabriel, who is a regular visitor to the Wangaratta Library, is an award-winning author and playwright who grew up in the Mansfield Shire, before moving to Melbourne on finishing school.

His first young adult novel, 'Boone Shepard', was shortlisted for the Readings Young Adult Prize, while his first novel for adults, 'The Hunted' (2020), became a bestseller and a film adaptation is currently in development.

Since then, he has published the thrillers 'The Inheritance' (2021) and 'The Caretaker' (2023), along with YA coming-of-age novel 'The True Colour of a Little White Lie' (2021) and middle-grade adventure 'Andromache Between Worlds'.

Gabriel will be at the Wangaratta Library on Friday, 11 July from 2.30pm, in an event hosted by Edgars Books and News.

Bookings are essential, and can be made by phoning 5721 2366, emailing library@wangaratta.vic.gov.au or online at https://edgarsbooksandnews.com.au/andromache-launch-with-gabriel-bergmoser/
