First Live Reading in Melbourne
The book is no longer just a story… it's real.
We had our first live reading in Melbourne. Seeing people listen, react, and connect with the story is something we won't forget.
Having my son read one of the most intense scenes made the moment even more special.
I'm deeply grateful to my family, my friends, and everyone who came to support me. Your presence, encouragement, and kindness meant more than I can put into words.
A special thank you to Street Taste for hosting the event and making it possible.
This is just the beginning.
This Is What We Are Now is now available.
Street Taste · 120 Lygon Street, Carlton, Melbourne
