Author talk at Woy Woy library
Woy Woy library will host an author talk at 10:30am on Monday, October 30.
Author Lucy Lever will discuss her newly-published first book Mystic Ridge "and all things writing".
Ms Lever, a former social worker, said she made frequent visits to family on the NSW north coast, where she found inspiration for the novel, a rural romantic comedy set in an alternative small community.
She said the book was about Claire who had a genius in helping others discover their path, which failed for herself when she learnt of plans to bulldoze her carefully-regenerated rainforest home and build a high-end wellness centre.
"Claire vows to rally her small community and save Mystic Ridge, although she has no idea where to start.
"Perhaps her first port of call should be the local newspaper, but after a fake-dating misadventure with the news editor, Leo, rising tensions - and chemistry - get in the way.
"Meanwhile, her old love, soapie actor Jake, promises to help protect her home.
"Yet Claire suspects his loyalties lie elsewhere, and she doesn't know who to trust anymore.
"Will Claire find the courage to fight for the rainforest, her family and her chance at love?"
Bookings for the talk are essential and may be made at the library or by phone on 4304 7555.
