Kate McCaffrey’s message

In case you didn’t make it to the evening event - Words and Wine - on Wednesday 21st May, Kate McCaffrey was our speaker. She sent this message today for Rosalie families:

Thanks for having me at Rosalie this year. It was a great night, even though I’d just arrived from Sydney that morning at 2.45am on a delayed flight - thanks Qantas - but I should probably whinge about that on my own blog.

I loved the festival atmosphere - it was indeed a Words and Wine night - though the words were largely my own and as for the wine - if I’d known about the raffle prizes well, then I’d have bought a bundle.

One of the best things about nights like these is catching up with other authors and feeling that the ‘Literary World’ is alive and thriving over here in WA (which I’m sure is almost a country of its own now!).

The other great part is speaking to readers - whether they be teenagers or their parents - and I was lucky enough to have both.

Thank you to the organisers and attendees who permitted me to talk at length about my favourite subject (the right response here is, of course, Australian literature - but for those who attended, you know I largely spoke about myself!!).

It was a pleasure and an honour! I hope others got as much from the evening as I did.

Cheers
Kate McCaffrey
