Author Signing - Sean Williams & Garth Nix - Troubletwisters

Tomorrow, Friday 27th will be the Sean Williams and Garth Nix author signing. It starts at 3.30pm at Castle Plaza Bookshop. 

We are celebrating the release of 'Troubletwisters' a brand new fantasy series for teens from New York Times bestselling authors Garth Nix and Sean Williams, in which twins find that they must act as wards against a threatening evil.

'Come to us, Troubletwisters, join us ... welcome, most welcome!'
When their home mysteriously explodes around their ears, twins Jack and Jaide are sent to stay with a grandmother they have never met, in a town they have never heard of. Portland might seem boring and quiet, but it soon becomes apparent that Grandma X is more than a little eccentric, and there are very strange happenings in the town. Talking cats, swarms of cockroaches, a miniature tornado trashing their room - the twins are about to find out what it means to be a troubletwister!
Something growing
Something read
Something living
Someone dead 

We will also have stock of the authors other books they have written, including Garth's 'Keys to the Kingdom series' and Sean's 'Star Wars: Force series'. 

If you have any questions about the signing then feel free to give us a call on (08) 8277-8857.

Our day with Sean Williams

Yesterday as you all know we had the awesome Sean Williams in for a book signing. He was promoting his new childrens series 'The Fixers' to which the first book is "Castle of Zombies"

Ollie didn’t want to move in the first place. His parents dragged him to this new house in a strange neighbourhood where nothing seems to work. When he’s woken by workmen in the middle of the night it seems par for the course, but when he heads downstairs to investigate he finds himself thrown into a strange new world. Here he encounters a castle, filled with zombie-like denizens and animated suits of armour. But there’s something strange about the castle itself too: could it somehow be— alive? Suddenly, boring old home seems a lot more attractive

A fantastic series and is great for children ages 8-11

Then two hours before Sean was to arrived we recieved a phone call from the local Star Wars 501st Legion costumers group. They wanted to send some Storm Troopers down for the signing. Not only does Sean do his own sci fi/fantasy books, he also writes Star Wars books!!

So now we had a great author coming and Storm Troopers!! How excited we were :D and as it was a saturday there would be a lot of kids around as well to join in the excitement.

Our Storm Troopers arrived first and got changed into their costumes, then Sean arrived. Our table was just set up for him and we were all ready to go. Some customers had already arrived waiting for him to get ready for signing.

It was so much fun, there were a lot of people loving the Storm Troopers and Imperial Guard. In fact they scared a few people because everyone thought they were statues. 

                                                                                                     

 

Even the Storm Troopers were getting in on the reading. It was a fantastic time and we all had a heap of fun!! Thank you to Sean Williams for signing and to the 501st Legion for coming and being such good sports!!!

Here is the blurb:


Tassaa Bareesh, a matriarch in the Hutt crime cartel, is holding an auction that’s drawing attention from across the galaxy. Representatives of both the Republic and the Sith Empire are present, along with a Jedi Padawan sent to investigate, a disenfranchised trooper drummed out of the Republic’s elite Blackstar Squad, and a mysterious Mandalorian with a private agenda. But the Republic’s envoy is not what he seems, the Empire’s delegate is a ruthless Sith apprentice, the Jedi Padawan is determined to do the right thing and terrified that he can’t, the trooper hopes to redeem her reputation, and the Mandalorian is somehow managing to keep one step ahead of everyone.
None of these guests—invited or uninvited—have any intention of participating in the auction. Instead they plan to steal the prize, which is locked inside an impregnable vault: two burned chunks of an exploded star cruiser, one of which may hold the key to the wealth of an entire world.
But the truth about the treasure is dangerous and deadly. And in the end, Sith and Jedi, Republic and Empire, must do something they’ve never done before, something that all the agents of good and evil could never make them do: join together to stop a powerful threat that could destroy the galaxy…
