Chasing Odysseus was launched yesterday at Between the Lines, my local bookstore in Tumut. There's always something very special about local launches...perhaps it's all the familiar faces.

Who would have thought there were so many ancient Greeks wandering around the lush foothills of the Snowy Mountains. A sincere thank you to Mandy Priest (the proprietor of Between the Lines) and to the Tumut Youth Council for adding a certain authenticity to the event.
Chasing Odysseus was officially lanched by Mayor Trina Thompson and included a reading, (by me), nibbles, (by someone who cooks a whole lot better than me) and of course the chocolates of the gods (which were devoured in quantity).
Atticus (my younger son) was a little disappointed that their was no actual jet propulsion of books into the air, but it was otherwise a really lovely debut event. Thank you Tumut, Batlow and Adelong.
I've posted just the very end of the reading below. Excuse the wobbles - my cameraman is nine years old.
