Support St Pat’s Appeal to reduce homelessness

I’m inviting you to help us support St Patricks Community Support Centre, which features in Poetic Licence as a refuge where we find Hunter on a number of occasions (although it is a very novelistic impression). We will contribute a portion of every copy sold from our online store at www.crotchetquaver.com and from New Edition Books in Fremantle to St Pat’s Everyday Appeal. You get a copy of a great read (don’t just take my word for it – check out some of the reviews using the links below) and you help reduce homelessness. One simple action, two great gifts.

St. Patrick's Community Support Centre (St Pat’s) offers support services to homeless people which includes meals, housing, welfare, health and emergency relief. Their goal is to reduce homelessness to zero. And, together, we can help.

Poetic Licence is an ideal gift for the lover of thrillers, and Christmas, along with end-of-year celebrations are coming up. Purchase this book as a gift and you are in fact giving two gifts. The title has attracted quite a lot of reviews at Goodreads, NetGalley on Amazon, WritingWA and in other media. Click the links above to read what others are saying about this novel.

And then think about joining them.

"I just loved this! The story is great, but the illustrations are outstanding. So beautiful and detailed. I can imagine poring over this book with a little one for ages, noticing all the funny little details to get"

Stories about grandparents delight children. So, when children read how Nenek Tata's adventure on what started out as a normal day turns a bit scary, their delight will explode. It's all because this day turns out to be not-so-normal. When Nenek Tata gets inside the gloomy jungles of the swamp, a...
