Date Time
Local identity to launch debut novel
Mount Gambier Library will host an author event with local identity Kelvin Smibert for the launch of his debut novel ‘Who Is Bill Jackson?’ on Saturday 10 April 2021 at 2:00pm at City Hall. Part fact and fiction, the novel is based on true events from the 1900s.
Written during the COVID-19 pandemic, the story is of a young woman seeking to write something of her family story. She is shown a box of papers discovered by her grandmother, which revealed the story of her great grandfather; a shadowy figure she barely knew existed, who lived in both Hamilton and Geelong, before coming to live in Mount Gambier.
