Join Michelle Johnston In Conversation with Josephine Taylor as they discuss her novel, Tiny Uncertain Miracles. This engaging conversation is part of the annual Readers' and Writers' Festival, presented by the City of Mandurah Library & Heritage Services. Taking place from January 11 to January 13, 2024, at the beautiful Seashells Resort Mandurah, this festival aims to inspire a love for reading and literature while fostering creativity within the community.
The festival's three-day program is free to attend and offers a diverse range of activities, including author talks, panel discussions, and poetry readings. Michelle Johnston, an esteemed Emergency Physician and author, will share insights from her novels, Dustfall and Tiny Uncertain Miracles. Her gripping stories are influenced by her experiences in an inner-city trauma hospital, making them both captivating and authentic.
Tiny Uncertain Miracles follows the journey of Marick, a man grappling with loss and faith, who finds himself unexpectedly appointed as a chaplain at a public hospital. There, he meets Hugo, a scientist exploring the astonishing possibility of bacteria producing gold. Set during the Christmas season, this tender and thought-provoking novel delves into themes of family, friendship, and the search for miracles.
In this conversation, Josephine Taylor, a talented writer, editor, and Adjunct Senior Lecturer in Writing at Edith Cowan University, will delve into the intricate details of Tiny Uncertain Miracles. Taylor's debut novel, Eye of a Rook, was shortlisted in the WA Premier's Book Awards, and she is highly sought after as a teacher, mentor, and judge in the literary fiction and creative non-fiction space.
