Meet the bestselling author of 'Invisible Boys', as he joins us in person to talk about his new gritty and heartfelt gay coming-of-age story
Giacomo Brolo, aka Jack, is a mess, working in piecemeal construction and estranged from his family and friends. But when he returns to his hometown for a family wedding, his past soon catches up with him.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Holden Sheppard live in conversation with journalist Michael James, as he shares the inspiration behind King of Dirt, the dusty West Australian landscapes, and writing about connection.
