Come and hang out with author Mark Skelsey as he dives into the intriguing world of his book 'Views to Die For'. It's a fascinating historical tale about the mysterious disappearance of Juanita Nielsen, a feisty campaigner from Kings Cross who wasn't afraid to take on the big wigs trying to turn her beloved neighbourhood into a concrete jungle. Think true crime meets local history, with a side of politics—perfect for those who love a good plot twist.

Mark shares some fresh insights from his new archival digs, interviews, and a stash of rare photographs that might just make you see the past in a new light. It's all about how Nielsen's battle for low-income housing and community spaces stirred the pot with powerful interests, making you wonder about the state of our urban landscapes today. Best part? You can soak in all this intel for free, so why not add a little literary intrigue to your Saturday morning? Just remember to register on Eventbrite before you swing by.
