Author to launch book at local library
Ms Macgregor has presented at the Modderfontein Coffee Mornings in the past, much to the enjoyment of all present.
South African author Ms Joanne Macgregor will be launching her new book ‘Fault Lines’ at the Modderfontein Library on April 21.
The event will take place at 9:30am while refreshments, at a cost of R20 per person, will be served prior to the talk.
Ms Macgregor’s latest book is a Young Adult/Teen book and parents and grandparents of similar aged children are encouraged to bring them along to meet her, and possibly get a book signed by her in person.
‘Fault Lines’ is the third in an eco warriors series, following ‘Turtle Walk’ and ‘Rock Steady’.
Her characters, Samantha and her friends, are now in grade 10 at boarding school but cracks are beginning to appear in their friendships, romances and belief in themselves. Samantha joins ecological activists to block fracking in the Karoo and expects her friends will be alongside her. But this does not happen and she faces many pressures while uncovering a mystery from the past and struggling to save the Karoo, as well as her friendships, from splitting down their fault lines.
