Cobram Library will be hosting Zimbabwean-born Australian author Tina Marie Clark in celebration of her latest book.
Song of the Starlings unfolds in Africa, centring on the search for a kidnapped child.
A brief synopsis of the book reads as follows:
South African ex-security contractor Chrystal Booysen has officially retired to her family game stud farm after her last mission took a dark turn. American private investigator Rowan Zackery is hired to rescue Australian corruption-fighting magnate Curtis Wilson’s daughter.
Yet, finding himself out of his depth in Africa, Rowan requires Chrystal’s expertise.
The longer Akina is missing, the greater the likelihood of her being dead and Rowan doesn’t want to find yet another body.
As they chase the elusive trail, can they save Akina, or will they be too late?
Ms Clark's latest book beautifully blends her love for diverse cultures, wildlife, and storytelling.
Her storytelling captivates audiences of all ages, from children to adults, and Ms Clarke has been nominated for a Queensland Literary Award and is a Children's Book Council Notable.
Ms Clarke is the coordinator for the Children and Young Adults Writers’ Conference in Brisbane, which offers professional development opportunities to both established and emerging writers and illustrators.
