Mackay’s own urban fantasy author, A. L. Tippett, is celebrating a magical milestone with the recent launch of her fifth novel, Gosh Darn Griffins. The event, held on Sunday, June 22 at Kitten Vintage Mackay, brought together fans, friends, and fantasy lovers for a morning of cake, book signings, and storytelling.
“I had the most wonderful day at the book launch for my fifth novel, Gosh Darn Griffins!
“Thank you to Kitten Vintage Mackay for hosting, to km and zn designs for the stunning edible cake topper, and to everyone who came down and supported me and my books.
“It was such a joy to share my love of storytelling with you all!” Tippett said.
Known for her blend of magic, humour, and heart, Tippett’s Magic and Motherhood series weaves fantastical adventures into familiar Queensland settings – including landmarks like the Big Mango in Bowen – giving readers a whimsical local twist.
But Tippett’s creative mission doesn’t end with her own books. She’s now helping others bring their stories to life with her upcoming Pathways to Print self-publishing workshop, designed to demystify the process of publishing on platforms like Amazon.
The workshop will be held on Saturday, 6 July, from 9am to 2pm at CQUniversity Ooralea.
For just $60, aspiring authors will receive expert guidance on editing, cover design, marketing, distribution, and the most rewarding moment of all – holding a printed copy of their book in their hands.
Whether you dream of sharing family history, educating others, or building a writing career, Tippett says the workshop’s goal is simply “to help you share your story.”
Since 2020, Tippett has self-published five urban fantasy novels and a children’s book, with her titles making it into the top 100 on Amazon in Australia, the UK, and Canada. A self-described “secret rider of dragons,” she blends mystical worlds with real-world wisdom – and now, she’s passing it on.
