Home is the Hunter makes a great Christmas present!

“All I want for Christmas is a book with short stories and poems about the wonderful Hunter Valley, and some photos too!”

Well, we have the perfect gift for you, then! You can now buy ‘Home is the Hunter’ in shops. $25 will get you a great collection of more than 70 poems and stories (both fiction and non-fiction) along with some very special photographs and other images. This anthology brings together a variety of voices, from struggling farming families in the Upper Hunter to those who have come more recently to this valley as refugees, from skateboarding city-dwellers to sailors on the lake.

These shops are currently stocking ‘Home is the Hunter’:

• MacLean’s Booksellers on Beaumont St, Hamilton
• Harry Hartog at Westfield Kotara
• Cooks Hill Books and Records on Darby St

You can also email us to buy a copy at catchfirepress@gmail.com.
