Caught in the Breeze: Launched!

May 3, 2010

On 29 April 2010 Smith's Alternative Bookshop was packed for the launch of Caught in the Breeze: 10 Essays.  It was a great night of readings, food, wine, and (of course) flags!

We'd like to thank everybody that was involved in the night, especially our guest speaker Paul Magee, and contributors Rachel Longhurst, Ben Wellings and Kathryn Hind for their terrific readings.

Caught in the Breeze is now on sale in our online bookstore.  Grab a copy today!
