Yeppoon author Nene Davies launches latest novel set in the Swinging Sixties!
Readers, writers and book lovers are invited to the book launch of talented Yeppoon author Nene Davies next weekend, to learn more about her latest novel, The Narrows.
To be held at the Yeppoon Town Hall on Saturday 31 October, the launch marks the first author event for Livingstone Libraries since suspending the programme in March, in response to COVID-19.
Portfolio holder of Vibrant Community (Tourism, Events and Culture), Councillor Tanya Lynch, said Nene is a local treasure and a valued committee member of The Capricorn Coast Writers Festival.
“This beautifully crafted story begins in the swinging sixties with two couples, one with a seemingly perfect life, the other wanting the impossible,” Cr Lynch said.
“Council is proud to host a wide variety of events and activities that not only support our local arts and culture community but also help to foster and grow the abundance of talent we have here in our fantastic region.”
Author Nene Davies describes the book as ultimately a story of family and redemption, second chances, and how love always finds its way home.
“I’m really excited to share this book with everybody and while writing is mostly a solitary experience, this event is a great opportunity to finally be able to come together in person and meet with other likeminded creatives,” Nene said.
Plans for the second Capricorn Coast Writers Festival are well underway and Nene is looking forward to putting together a programme for the region in 2021.
“The Capricorn Coast is an amazingly supportive and welcoming community and it’s very open to new things, and all of that contributes to supporting creatives in our local arts and culture scene,” Nene explained.
“We’ve also had fabulous support from Livingstone Shire Council in helping the inaugural event come to fruition last year.”
The book launch is a free event and be will be held on Saturday 31 October at 10am – 11.30am. To register, please visit

About the Book
It's the Swinging Sixties and in colourful London, everything’s changing.
Traditional boundaries between men and women, love and marriage, work and home, are in flux - and when a love triangle involves four people, the distance between all of them narrows.
It isn't long, however, until an event rips away the mask of civility, and reveals secrets - and horrors – previously hidden.
Years later, and the next generation is dealing with the fallout of decisions made a lifetime ago. And nothing is as it seems.
