MY NEW NOVEL IS CALLED:

MEETING WOLFIE: A STORY ABOUT MOZART

Matthew Walker is kidnapped by Internet hypnotist Diabolus and finds himself in a network of caves next to a rumbling volcano. He meets a young Wolfgang Mozart, and they discover that Diabolus has abducted them to teach his tone-deaf son Spike to play music. With the help of scientist Dr. Gildenstein, the boys manage to escape. They are transported to Mozart’s home in 18th century Austria. Matthew finds plenty of material for his school history project. When it is time for Matthew to go home, Wolfie accidentally comes back with him and a series of funny adventures occur. Will Wolfie keep his identity a secret? He accidentally finds out the devastating truth about his existence and has to come to terms with this. But will he ever get home, now that the volcano has erupted and Dr. G. has vanished? Find out in this fast-paced, funny and informative novel.

Matthew and the Highland Rescue

The Time Gate Series

This is my first children's novel, but I have written short stories for women’s magazines, 

a vegetarian cookery book and I had 11 published songs. I have also worked as Ballater

correspondent for the Deeside Piper & Herald, was founder editor of the Ballater Eagle

and I am involved in youth work. I live in a beautiful part of the Scottish Highlands,

a few miles from Loch Kinord, which inspired this novel. I have worked at Ballater Library

for 13 years. So if on your travels you happen upon a little place called Ballater,

and find yourself with nothing to read, do pop into the library and you can become a visitor

member. We welcome a lot of visitors from around the world every summer.

I'd be happy to meet you.

Author Event          (From the Deeside Piper)

Ballater Library took part in the Victoria Week celebrations by hosting an author event in the Supper Room of the Victoria and Albert Halls on August 9th.

The evening featured novelist Tania Kindersley and other local authors Mary Munro, Alex Clark and Sabine Muir.

Tania Kindersley, who has written six novels, answered questions about her writing life and read some excerpts from her latest novel ‘Nothing to Lose’, which is set in Scotland. One of the wonderfully descriptive passages she read conveyed her deep love of the Scottish landscape.

She is best known for her novels: ‘Goodbye Johnny Thunders’, ‘Elvis has Left the Building’ and ‘Don’t Ask me Why’.

Tania lives in Aboyne and helps run The Chocolate Gallery in Ballater.

Mary Munro entertained people with a couple of her delightful tales in the Doric from her books ‘Deeside Reets’ and ‘Tales of the Mither Tongue’.

She read her wonderfully evocative and funny story ‘Dancing at Dinnet’ and ‘The Muckle Spate’, an account of the Ballater Bridge’s disintegration when the river Dee broke its banks in the 19^th century.

Her last story, Deeside Reets, mirrored Tania’s sentiments about Deeside. 

Unfortunately, Alex Clark was unable to attend, due to illness, but he left a request for Sabine to read a chapter of his new book: The Depression Boy.

Sabine Muir introduced her newly released children’s novel: ‘Meeting Wolfie: A Story About Mozart’. The novel is a special tribute to Mozart on the 250^th anniversary of his birth.  She read a couple of excerpts, which were very amusing, and entertained both children and adults alike.

During the interval, Aberdeenshire Library and Information Service provided refreshments.

A Question and Answer session followed at the end.
