Events in October

You've seen Nelson Aspen on Sunrise, now see him at the Toorak/South Yarra library (13 Oct.) where he will talk about his new book Hollywood Insider Exposed! 

Don't miss this rare chance to meet Nelson during his visit from the US. 

Simon Capp temporarily moved his family to Italy. Hear of his experiences when he discusses his book, Italy? It seemed lika a good idea at the time.

A Melbourne author, Simon will discuss his funny and charming book about blending in to a new community at the Toorak/South Yarra library (14 Oct.).

And at Malvern Library (30 Oct.), Geoff Hayes, past producer of Nordic Sounds on 3MBS, shows there is far more to Jean Sibelius than Finlandia.

Visit the events page  for more details.
