What a wonderful launch!
It was standing room only at the beachside vintage hall at Blythe Heads with 5o people gathering for the celebration of Falling for Water by Francesca Cairns.
Nettie Hume was the MC and there was a beautiful sharing by Cassie Smith, North West Environment Centre & Manager ecofest26:
This book has reminded me that water, memory, nature, and human spirit are all bound together.
It has reminded me to pause, to listen, to act, and to trust.
Sue Young from Ashwood Publishing spoke about the many years of crafting the novel that had ‘distilled the essence of the story’.
Fran then spoke of the mystery, magic and wonder of water and shared a short reading.
If you missed the in-person launch there are two opportunities to join Fran in an online version:
