Hobart Bookshop: Launch of The Volunteer
Hobart Bookshop
We welcome you to the launch, by Dianne Coon, ASM (Secretary of the Volunteer Ambulance Officers Association Tasmania — VAOAT), of Ro Evelyn’s first novel, The Volunteer.
The Volunteer explores the struggle of communities to survive in rural Tasmania, featuring an often overlooked part of our emergency response crews; our volunteer ambulance officers.
An isolated seaport in Tasmania, the local ambulance crew and one plan to destroy them both… Down-on-his-luck volunteer ambulance officer Andrew Sutton is in for the fight of his life when he agrees to sell his failing laundry business to radio personality and real estate developer Stan Rule only to uncover a sinister plot that could destroy his community.
The Volunteer has been developed under a mentorship with Rohan Wilson through the Tasmanian Writers Centre. Rohan has described the novel as ‘A ripping good read’.
