Broken by Magick is the first novel in the Brighton series - a high stakes quest seamlessly blending crime and fantasy genres. The author T. W. Howis will be onsite for book signings each day of Bookfest. $5 from the sale of each copy of Broken by Magick sold at Bookfest to the Ballarat Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation Inc (BWRAC).

While you're at Bookfest check out the over 10,000 plus quality second-hand books on offer for $3 each. In addition to thousands of books, Bookfest will also host Thane's Treasures, a Ballarat family business selling handmade bookmarks and book nooks. There will be food and beverages options onsite to make it a fun day of finding new books in Ballarat.

Wayne from That Little Bookshop will be donating 20% of the turnover from second-hand books to the Inter Club Drop-In Centre.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
