BESTSELLING author Judy Nunn will be at Kwinana Library with her 14th novel Sanctuary on Saturday, October 28 from 2pm.
The star of screen and stage was inspired to write Sanctuary when she visited Houtman Abrolhos, a chain of islands off the coast of Geraldton.
Sanctuary is about people in search of sanctuary, who land on a remote island with no idea of where they might be, only to discover that, despite the starkness of the place, it provided everything necessary for their survival.
