An asteroid’s approaching, there are zombies on the loose and our HQ, the Writing NSW building, is fast running out of biscuits (not to mention we’re surviving on instant coffee – help!). Yep, the apocalypse is here!! Join us as the end of the world approaches, and we try and get survival tips from award-winning author Bren MacDibble, whose books include environmental apocalyptic book How to Bee. We also venture out onto the streets (and take a much-needed detour to an awesome cronut-filled café), encounter Jules Faber flogging his new book Max Crack on a street corner, AND meet up with Deb Abela for Kids Capers (in a whoopee cushion factory, no less!). Don your gas mask and pack your snacks to join us on a journey to survive the apocalypse, sharing books reviews and giveaway news along the way!

Australian author Bren MacDibble talks to Rhi about her novel The Dog Runner, the story of two girls in a post apocalyptic world who're forced to go mushing to find food.
Once again, Bren MacDibble takes us into the immediate future where food secuity is compromised. 'The Dog Runner' looks at what happens when all grasses are destroyed and ten year old Ella and her half-brother, Emery, have to survive.How do you find your own identity, especially if you have a disability. Twins, Sea and Serene are co-joined physically, but does this make them agree to everything? 'Fusion' by Kate Richards is fiction but immensely believable.
You'd think when Matt sat down for a Coffee Chat with a Book of the Year winning author it would be a conversation filled with stories about getting lost in the literature and the remarkable adventures you go on when engulfed between the pages, but not so with Bren MacDibble. Author of 2018 Book of the year for younger readers, for her book 'How to Bee', Bren has deservedly enjoyed high praise for her book but it is her personal life where the story really starts to get interesting...
