Journalists Michael Brissenden and Paul Daley to visit Port Macquarie for book signing

PORT Macquarie readers have a rare opportunity to meet two of Australia’s most respected journalists and authors when Michael Brissenden and Paul Daley visit Collins Bookstore in Clarence Street on Wednesday, 17 September.

Brissenden, a Walkley Award-winning political reporter and author, and Daley, an acclaimed columnist and author, are embarking on a joint tour to promote their latest works.

Both will be signing books from 4pm.

“The wonderful Paul Daley and Michael Brissenden will be dropping by to sign some copies of The Leap and Dust,” said store owner, Wendy Ranger.

Brissenden’s Dust is a gripping outback thriller with deep political undertones, while Daley’s The Leap explores history, conflict, and human choices in a changing Australia.

The bookstore is inviting the community to come along, get their books signed, and take part in what promises to be an engaging afternoon with two of the nation’s leading voices.

For those who can’t make the event, signed copies will be available at Collins Bookstore following the visit.
