The Lost Sister Story

I have not yet read the book, but will try to do so soon.

The story sound fascinatingly similar to my own.

I would like to talk to the sisters. I wonder if that is possible.

Ubud Writers and Readers Festival

 

The Lost Sister of Groningen will be launched in October in 2011 at the Ubud International Writers and Readers Festival in Bali. I am very fortunate to launch my book there as they only accept 15 books in the Launch Program. I will detail more information as it comes to hand. It is very rewarding for both Malcolm and I!!

Regards Nell
