Margaret Hickey is based in North East Victoria and holds a PhD in Creative writing, specialising in depictions of landscape in Australian literature. She is the author of the bestselling novel Cutters End and newly released Stone Town. Her plays have been performed in regional Victoria, Brisbane, Melbourne and New York. Cutters End has just been short-listed in the Best Debut Crime Fiction category in the Ned Kelly Awards.

Margaret’s novels are described as rural crime novels and her new release, Stone Town, exemplifies this genre. A town that has long since seen better days, a policeman looking for a quiet posting whose hopes are shattered by the discovery of a body in dense bushland, murder and mystery set against the Australian landscape.

Those who heard Margaret speak at the Shepparton Library in December 2021 will know she is an engaging speaker.

Stone Town is available to borrow from Goulburn Valley Libraries so you can have your questions and comments ready when you meet Margaret. Her book will be for sale at the event and Margaret will be available to sign copies of her books.
