While I’m thrilled to be part of the Terror Australis Festival and can’t wait to share my passion for reading and writing with locals and visitors alike, make no mistake: behind the friendly exterior, in my imagination, I’ll be finding the menace in your beautiful environment, turning your excellent local wines and produce into poison, scattering your exquisite Huon Valley with dead bodies… - Angela Savage

(b) in fiction’s most popular genre;
(c) in the world’s only town named after a baby swan, on a river named after the world’s rarest ancient tree;
(d) deep in the heart of hot-spot Tasmania;
(e) with a unique focus on brilliant Australian women authors.
