🕡 6.30pm – Paul in conversation with our very own Tenille McDermott

Author, environmental scientist and former CEO of the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), Paul has spent 35 years working around the world, including in Ethiopia, Yemen and, most recently, Ukraine. His extraordinary career and first-hand experience of climate, conflict and environmental change bring a fascinating real-world depth to his fiction.

Paul and Tenille will be chatting about The Hope, the conclusion to the trilogy that began with bestselling climate thriller The Forcing, as well as the experiences, science and very real issues behind the series.

Come along, enjoy a glass and some nibbles, and settle in for what we think will be a fascinating conversation with an author who has an incredible amount to talk about.
