LOCAL author Hayley Lawrence will appear at Collins Booksellers Port Macquarie from 11am to 12pm on Saturday, 11 October, for signed copies of her latest young adult novel, “Into the Wild”.
Hayley Lawrence is one of Australia’s best-selling authors of young adult fiction, celebrated for her emotionally charged stories and moral depth.
Wendy Ranger, owner of Collins Booksellers Port Macquarie, said she is proud to host a local author who continues to make waves in Australian literature.
“Supporting local authors is an important part of what we do.
“Love Your Bookshop Day is a great opportunity for readers to meet Hayley in person, hear about her writing journey, and take home a signed copy of her latest book,” Wendy said.
Drawing on her background as a lawyer, Hayley’s novels explore ethical dilemmas and the consequences of imperfect choices.
Her newest release, “Into the Wild”, follows five teens whose survival challenge becomes a test of endurance, character, and forgiveness.
Set in a remote, subzero wilderness, the story explores how one reckless decision can fracture trust and change lives forever.
With multiple accolades from the Children’s Book Council of Australia, including Notable books, a shortlisting and an Honour Book, Hayley’s novels continue to captivate readers across Australia and New Zealand.
Collins Booksellers Port Macquarie Love Your Bookshop Day is held on Saturday 11 October from 10am to 4pm.
