Upcoming Guest Speaker

 

Born in Adelaide, the daughter of German immigrants, Kyra Geddes spent her earliest years in the South Australian opal fields before moving to Sydney.

Following a successful career in Marketing, Kyra returned to university to study English and pursue her dream of writing, publishing two short stories and earning the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Academic Excellence. The Story Thief is her debut novel.

Kyra blends fact and fiction into one in this compelling family saga, inspired by Henry Lawson’s The Drover’s Wife and set against shifting landscapes and pivotal moments in Australian history. A story of love, loss and the power of words, ultimately it is about how each of us must find our own way to live.
