Against the backdrop of the Brisbane River, join Queensland author, Caylie Jeffery, and House Detective, Marianne Taylor, for an entertaining presentation and conversation with WQ editor, Sandra Makaresz. Inspired by Caylie's Under the Lino project, you'll find out how this Queensland Memory Awards recipient built a community and wrote a book after discovering hidden cash and documents during a house renovation.
There will be complimentary alcohol served during the event, and afterwards, a pop-up bookshop selling Caylie's work, as well as an informal book-signing.
Format
This is a Meet the Author event. More information on program formats and level definitions can be found here.

About Marianne Taylor
Marianne Taylor is an architectural historian, but that sounds a bit stuffy, so I call myself The House Detective. I research the history of houses for people and I absolutely love what I do!
