Staff at Paperplus in Masterton dressed as characters from their favourite books to celebrate NZ Bookshop day on Saturday 31st October, which is of course Hallowe’en so there’s already a dress-up theme. Janet Colson and Rudy Castanda Lopez (dressed as themselves) hit the town to drop in on Hedley’s and Paperplus, both enthusiastic stockists of Escalator Press titles. The two authors went on to give a talk about art and their novels at the Aratoi Museum of Art and History hosted by Director Alice Hutchison. The duo carry on the conversation at the Mahara Gallery in Waikenae on Saturday 7th November and at Wardini Book on 28th.
