Shane Pinnegar had his book launch at the Rotary Club of Morley last night. Launching his Dad's memoirs at his club of more than 50 years was a privilege and very special indeed.
Sincere thanks to a bunch of friends who came along to support the launch, it means a lot. Thanks to Grant, Pete, Adrian and Trulie for these photos.
Now this most personal and emotional of projects is done he's looking forward to getting back to work on his next novel, starting next week! We can't wait to read it and publish it!!

It's publication day TODAY!!! Exactly 70 years since Shane Pinnegar's Dad left Fairbridge Farm School Pinjarra aged 16, his memoirs are now available to read.
It's a fascinating and surprising tale of a dysfunctional family, of neglect and abuse, of confusion and emotional trauma, and of triumph in the face of all this adversity. It's a story of love and life and two governments failing thousands of children.
Search for SHANE PINNEGAR on Amazon to find it. Kindle version available now, Print on demand paperback should be approved on the next day or two. Signed paperbacks are also available directly from me.
