Meet Chris Hammer
In-conversation event | Sat 5 Oct | Venue 114
Looking for something fresh to do on the long weekend? Enjoy an evening with Chris Hammer, acclaimed Scrublands author. Hear Chris talk about his superb new crime thriller The Valley, with special guest ABC Sunshine Coast radio broadcaster Sheridan Stewart.
Chris’s first novel, Scrublands received critical and commercial success with the television version released world-wide late last year. Directed by Greg McLean and starring Luke Arnold, Bella Heathcote with Jay Ryan as Father Byron Swift, the series received high praise.
His novels have been hailed as a masterclass in rural crime noir. The Valley features a page-turning plot, intriguing characters, and an evocative sense of place—where nothing is ever quite what it seems.
Chris is a respected journalist with a 30-year career covering Australian federal politics and international affairs. As the author of other international bestsellers Scrublands, Treasure & Dirt, The Tilt and The Seven, Chris presents another immersive and rewarding read.
Sheridan Stewart has been one of Australia's favourite FM music radio presenters for more than 20 years. Sheridan Stewart is a writer, speaker, and broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). A former FM radio presenter at Triple M, music journalist and comedy producer, Sheridan released her first non-fiction book I Am Enough in 2023.
Chris’s books will be available for purchase at the venue with a special book signing session.
