Entitled Found, local author, Melissa Pouliot’s sequel to her novel Write About Me, promises to be every bit as intriguing as her previous work and poignantly it will be the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre who launches the book on Thursday, July 27 at Muse in Canberra.
Write About Me was inspired by the real life disappearance of Melissa’s cousin Ursula Barwick 30 years ago and the involvement of the AFP in the launch of this latest book has meant a lot to Melissa.
“They hold a very special place in my heart for the support they've given me since I published Write About Me. I will always remember my first meeting with them, clutching my new book, to see if there was anything I could do to help reinvigorate my cousin Ursula's case.
“They have endorsed all my novels and taken them to international conferences, and because of the work they do, they understand the layers and meanings that surround every word I write,” Melissa said.
The novel will also be launched at Dulcie’s, Merimbula on August 3.
