š All Booked Out Fest 2025
Join me in Ballarat this July!
I’m delighted to be attending the All Booked Out Festival in Ballarat on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July 2025. This wonderful event celebrates stories, authors, and the joy of reading — and I’m so proud to be a part of it.
You’ll find me at the Indie Author Market all weekend, where I’ll be signing copies of my books and chatting with fellow readers and writers. If you love stories steeped in history, resilience, and emotion, I’d love to meet you.
āØ About My Books
Ravens Hollow
My debut novel, published when I was 80, is a haunting historical mystery set in 1850s Victoria. It explores a small town haunted by secrets and the ghosts of the past — both literal and emotional.
Beyond the Horizon
My second novel tells the story of two children whose lives are changed forever during the polio epidemic of the mid-1900s. A story of trauma, memory, and unexpected joy — it’s a book very close to my heart.
šļø Signed copies will be available at the festival!

š¬ A Personal Note
Publishing my first book later in life was something I never expected — but it has opened a world of storytelling I now treasure deeply. Through fiction, I’ve found a way to reflect on the struggles and quiet triumphs that shape our lives. I hope my stories speak to you, as they have to me.
I look forward to seeing some familiar faces — and meeting new ones — at All Booked Out this July.
Warmly,
Judith Rook
