"Sometimes the only way to manage the daily percolating drip of fear, the corrosive dread of debt and humiliation, is to embrace another sort of terror, to put oneself in danger." The Booranga Writers’ Centre at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga is hosting author Ms Kalinda Ashton as its third writer-in-residence for 2011. Her first novel, The Danger Game was published by Sleepers Publishing in 2009. Ms Ashton was named one of the Sydney Morning Herald Young Novelists of the Year in 2010. Her short stories have been published in journals and anthologies including the Sleeper Almanac, Overland, Meanjin and Kill Your Darlings. Ms Ashton will attend a writers’ workshop from 2pm at the Booranga Writers’ Centre, Mc Keown Drive, CSU in Wagga Wagga on Saturday 17 September and a public reading from 5pm on Thursday 22 September at the Wagga Wagga City Library in the Civic Centre, Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga.
