Three days till I’m in Australia – hip hip hooray!

There are just three days to go before I arrive in my wonderful home country Australia for the Byron Bay Writer’s Festival and ten days of visits to four fabulous schools! 

On Saturday 4th August from 1.30pm to 2.30pm, fellow Hong Kong author Xu Xi and I will be talking with renowned literary entrepreneur Jane Camens in a panel discussion on Reaching Across Worlds about our experiences as writers in English on the Asian literary scene.  Then on Sunday 5th August at 9.30am I’ll be kicking off a fabulous day of literary fun for kids of all ages with an introduction to my Chinese Calendar Tales and a reading from my latest book The Tale of Pin Yin Panda! See the Festival website at www.byronbaywritersfestival.com.au for all the details! Here’s an article in the Byron Shire News all about it! 

 Finally from 6th to 14th August I’ll be visiting four wonderful Brisbane and Gold Coast schools – Ashgrove State Primary School at The Gap; Churchie at East Brisbane; St Ignatius Primary School at Toowong and  A B Paterson College at Arundel on the Gold Coast! I can’t wait to meet everyone!
