I’ll be sharing my experience of supporting Dad and reading from Dad, You’ve Got Dementia. There will be time for questions. This is a face to face event only and it’s important to reserve as space is limited.

Limited places for these two events that are part of Dying Matters week so book early. Melanie Humphries-Connolly helped me and my family when Dad was dying and I can’t recommend her and her mahi highly enough.

Come along to the Union Church in Cambridge on Tuesday, 29 July, to have your questions answered about dementia and to hear some readings from Dad, You’ve Got Dementia.

I haven’t been to Thames for a long time so looking forward to reading and speaking there at the War Memorial Civic Centre. These Dementia Waikato Q and A sessions are great so do come along and bring a friend. Entry is gold coin koha to cover venue costs and morning tea is provided.

A bilingual in-person event. Mia Farlane will be talking about her literary heritage, introducing her mother Marilyn Duckworth’s fifth novel, Disorderly Conduct, and reading extracts from this book. I’ll be reading the original, in English.
