Toni Jordan and Shane Maloney are guests of the Stonnington Literary Festival.

Shane Maloney, author of the Murray Whelan series, is the special guest at the Festival launch, kicking off at Prahran Library with drinks, nibbles and live music.

Toni Jordan joins Australian literature reviewer and blogger Lisa Hill with authors Helen Brown, Fiona Wood and Meme McDonald for a lively discussion on a theme of inspiration in writing and the personal stories that influence a writer’s work.
