Damnation and Dames, our latest anthology of 16 stunning tales of paranormal noir, was launched in Perth and Melbourne over the Easter weekend.
On Good Friday, Marianne de Pierres, best-selling creator of the Tara Sharp series, launched the title at SwanCon 37 in Perth. Co-editor Liz Grzyb and contributor Pete Kempshall were on hand to sign books for a fantastic audience.
