Book lovers will remember Auckland-based author Katherine Dewar who launched her debut novel Ruby and the Blue Sky in New Zealand at the Whanganui Winter Wonderfest in August 2016.
The author is pleased to have been invited to Whanganui again to participate in this year's La Fiesta programme where she will be featuring in three events.
The first event will see her participating in a climate change panel on February 23 about the role of creativity and extreme weather at the Education Room of the Whanganui Environment Base.
The following day, Dewar is offering two workshops at the Women's Network, one providing insights as a first-time publisher and author, and the second is a dynamic and persuasive marketing workshop.
The novel is a feminist, climate change thriller about fame, power, sacrifice - and tea.
Now working on her second novel, the author also uses the power of words in her ethical marketing business, GoodSense.
