Welcome to The Lantern Room Library

There's a subtle magic in beginning a new chapter, and today, we light the inaugural candle in The Lantern Room Library. What better way to start than by celebrating storytelling itself?

Upcoming Event: In Conversation with Bryan Brown

On Tuesday, November 12th, I will depart from the tranquil setting of The Lantern Room Library and enter the warm, historic ambiance of the Palace Regent Cinema in Ballarat, Victoria, to attend a special event featuring a conversation between Bryan Brown and Nell Schofield.

The event will explore Brown’s latest thriller, The Hidden, a story pulsing with small-town secrets, buried truths, and that irresistible tension that keeps you turning just one more page. I’m excited to discover how Brown brings these hidden worlds and complex characters to life.

I'll soon be sharing my thoughts and favourite moments from the evening, so, dear readers, consider this your official invitation to join me on this journey.

Keep an eye out for my post-event reflection , an exploration of storytelling, mystery, and the subtle art of listening, illuminated by lantern light.
