Local children’s author Annette Cummins has very kindly agreed to donate some copies of her most recent book, The Orchard, to the Twilight Markets (children who visit Santa will receive a free copy of the book, while our stocks last).
Annette was born and raised in Wynnum, apart from a three year stint in Sydney. The idea for the book came to her when she used to read bedtime stories to her daughters.
“I’ve always had a passion for writing” says Annette, “and the idea for The Orchard came from a bedtime story I made up and told my two daughter when they were very young. It was based on our family, and I used to make up lots of stories when it was bedtime so the light wouldn’t keep them awake.”
