Food@Home being launched - I grew the pumpkin and baked the cake,
and the good folk at the university bookshop did all the rest.
Food@Home was successfully launched on May 1st at the Canterbury University bookshop (read more about it on Beattie's BookBlog).
Now it is time to take it out into the
wider world, so trips to Auckland (May 11-13), Wellington (June 2)
and Oamaru (June 22) have been confirmed so far, and I'm open to
offers to go to other places if enough people want me to be there to
talk about the message in the book, and can pay my expenses to get
there. (That's what I'll be doing at the Transition Town Oamaru
meeting on June 22.) I will also be speaking in Christchurch on June
8 as part of the Christchurch City Library's Matariki programme.
I'd like it if my trips away from home
could do some good for your community as well as my book sales, so if
you think your school, environmental group or other good cause could
use me as a speaker at a fundraising event, then I am available for a
speaking fee of $100, plus travel expenses, AND I will donate $3 from
every copy of Food@Home sold at the event towards your cause.
I can speak without props, OR give a powerpoint presentation, OR lead
a garden ramble (you provide the garden), OR take a gardening or
cooking workshop (fee negotiable). (I can even sing my song composed
especially for the book launch – The Very Best Food – but
you will have to join in on the chorus.)
Please check the Food@Home - book and author on tour page
on this blog for details on where I will be when over the next two
months, and come and say hello if you can. To organise a speaking
engagement with me, please write to ecogardenernz @ gmail.com
or call 03 329 4588.
