Global Book Launch Event at Nest
Book Launch Event with Internationally acclaimed, award winning author Sulari Gentill in Tumbarumba, ahead of capital city launches
Crossing the Lines between truth and fiction, Sulari Gentill’s new commercial literary fiction explores what happens when the imagined becomes better than reality. This elegant and captivating postmodern tale demonstrates a stunning departure from Gentill’s best-known Rowland Sinclair Mysteries.
Nest will be hosting the first launch event of Crossing the Lines with Sulari, ahead of the 1 August international release date.
You are invited to be part of this exciting event at Nest Cinema Cafe Books on Saturday 29 July at 3pm
Cost $10 includes welcome drink and grazing platters to enjoy as you hear from Sulari about her new literary feat with a Q&A and of course the opportunity to buy signed copies, before the rest of the world!
Tickets purchased by 21 July go into draw to win a signed copy of Crossing the Lines.
Call Nest on 69482950 for bookings.
“A tour de force! Crossing the Lines is a brilliant blend of mystery, gut-wrenching psychological suspense
and literary storytelling. The novel stands as a shining (and refreshing) example of meta fiction at its best – witty and wry, stylish and a joy to read.” – Jeffery Deaver No 1, International Bestselling Author
Madeleine d’Leon is fixated on the story of Edward ‘Ned’ McGinnity, the hero in her latest crime novel. But Ned too is a writer, and the character he can’t get out of his head is none other than Madeleine herself.
In this deeply intimate portrayal of two minds wrestling and embracing, it becomes increasingly difficult to define where imagination ends and reality begins.
“As one for whom certain story lines and characters have become as real as life itself, Crossing the Lines was a pure delight, a swift yet psychologically complex read, cleverly conceived and brilliantly executed.”
Dean Koontz, New York Times bestselling author“Sulari’s wonderful way with words will continue to surprise and delight,” says Pantera Press CEO and
co-founder, Alison Green. “Stepping away from her Rowland Sinclair series and the 1930s, Sulari transports us to the present day in her stand-alone commercial literary feat, Crossing the Lines. This novel will leave you spinning, as the lines blur between reality and fiction with an unforeseeable shock ending.”This elegant exploration of the creative process is “very different to Sulari’s previous works, but it is still
abundant with the Sulari-isms we all know and love,” notes Green.
Crossing the Lines sees Sulari flex all of her literary muscles to seamlessly weave together stories of murder, love and obsession in a way that not only asks ‘who done it?’, but also what is real and who is imagined.
SULARI GENTILL: AUTHOR BIO
Award-wining author Sulari Gentill set out to study
astrophysics, graduated in law, and then abandoned
her legal career to write books instead of contracts.
Born in Sri Lanka, Sulari learned to speak English in
Zambia, grew up in Brisbane and now lives in the
foothills of the Snowy Mountains of NSW where, with
her historian husband, she grows French black truffles,
cares for a variety of animals and raises two wild
colonial boys. Sulari also paints, but only well enough
to know she should write, preferably in her pyjamas.
Sulari is the author of the award-winning and
best-selling Rowland Sinclair Mysteries as well as the
Greek mythology adventure series, The Hero Trilogy.
“Sulari Gentill is an unusually vivid and witty writer.”
