Award-winning American author Cheryl Pearl Sucher will be joined by New Zealand authors Rachael King and Tim Wilson at East Pier Hotel next month.
Sheryl Reed, chairperson of the Writers in Wineries Charitable Trust says the evening of literary pleasure called A Trio of Tale Tellers provides Hawke's Bay readers the opportunity to hear and meet three acclaimed writers in a relaxed environment.
"Our creed is 'Words, Wine and Food' and this event combines these perfectly; great writers in a local foodie venue with iconic views looking out to both the sea and hills."
"Many people will recognise Tim Wilson as a member of the Seven Sharp news team and Rachael King as being an acclaimed NZ author and current director of the Christchurch Writers Festival."
Ms King, a former Hastings Rudolph Steiner school student, is the author of two adult novels: The Sound of Butterflies, which won Best First Book (Fiction) at the 2007 Montana New Zealand Book Awards, and Magpie Hall (2009). Red Rocks, her latest novel for children, was a finalist in 2013 NZ Post Children's Book Awards. Her work has been translated into nine languages.
