I'll be attending this event at the Drysdale library where three Bellarine writers, Jacqui Connor, Jenny Macaulay and Pearl Wilson discuss their collaboration over a decade to create a crime novella. Lovely opportunity to support some local women writers.

After the event if anyone is interested its just a short walk to the pub opposite where we debrief over a drink.

**Blurb from the event**
A collaboration over a decade by three Bellarine writers has resulted in a crime novella that was launched last month. The book, *Argyle: One Island, Four Voices*, was written by Jacqui Connor, Jenny Macaulay and Pearl Wilson. The novella is about a fictional lighthouse off the Victorian coastline and moves across more than a century of lighthouse keepers, their families and visitors to the island. The trio will discuss their writing collaboration when they appear at the Drysdale Library in November.

Jacqui Connor has a varied background in the arts as an actor, theatre director, poet and writer. Several of her short stories and poems are in a range of anthologies. Argyle: One Island, Four Voices is her first book.

Jenny Macaulay, a retired teacher, runs a drawing class and facilitates several writing groups including one dedicated to poetry which is under the umbrella of Geelong Writers. Jenny began a local haiku society which connects with other groups throughout Australia. Several of her short stories and poems appear in various anthologies. She painted the cover of Argyle: One Island, Four Voices, her second book.

Pearl Wilson is a published author and former journalist. She wrote the narrative for an art film about the pandemic in 2020. She organises literary events and facilitates a writing group. Several of her short stories appear in various anthologies. Argyle: One Island, Four Voices is her seventh book.
