How do you even start writing your first book? Join debut authors Jessica Kirkness, Daniel Tamone, Deborah Pike and Lisa Kenway as, led by Caroline Overington, they discuss where their ideas come from, how real-life experiences can become part of fiction, what publishing their first book has taught them and so much more.

Daniel Tamone grew up in Sydney. He now lives on the NSW Central Coast with his wife Lisa and three children, Arielle, Levi and Benji. He played several seasons with the Parramatta Two Blues as part of the Shute Shield rugby competition before ‘retiring’ from the sport.

Daniel works in financial services and has contributed to financial news provider Livewire Markets.

The Fists of the Father is his debut novel.
