Cessnock City Library is excited to be hosting a free author talk with everyone’s favourite tree-changer: Todd Alexander.
Todd will be presenting his new book ‘Over the Hill and Up the Wall’, a heart-warming journey with parents of a certain age and a son who thinks he knows best.
‘Over the Hill and Up the Wall’ is an affectionate, funny look at the frictions of taking a more active role in our elders’ lives. It’s a nod to every child who has waited three hours for a parent to fasten their seatbelt, and every parent whose child assumes they can’t count to twenty. And, if your parents are just hitting middle age, it may well be a warning of things to come!
Todd’s bestselling comedic memoir, ‘Thirty Thousand Bottles of Wine and a Pig Called Helga’ (2019) was longlisted for three awards for best non-fiction book of the year. Todd’s short story, ‘The Great Easter Let Down’ was longlisted for the Newcastle Short Story Award in 2021.
The event is set to take place on Thursday 30 March, 2023 from 5.30pm – 6.30pm.
Copies of Toddʼs book will be available for purchase and signing on the night.
Bookings are essential and can be made by calling the Cessnock Library team on 4993 4399; online at https://libraries.cessnock.nsw.gov.au, or in person at the library desk.
