First the bad news. The Project Futures High Tea on 12 November has sold out. Now the good news; it’s been moved to a bigger venue, so get in quick to buy tickets to support the Freedom Partnership Safe House for victims of forced marriage in Sydney.

I’ll be part of a panel with Laura Vidal of The Freedom Partnership- to End Modern Slavery and Daniel Evans of Australian Federal Police, about the incidence of forced and early marriage in Australia, and how it can be prevented.

Thanks too to my publisher Allen and Unwin, for supplying prize giveaway copies of Promising Azra for some lucky guests.
