Australian Author Tori Baxter’s debut narrative non-fiction ‘My Sweet Monster: A Cautionary Tale of Desire’ is launching on Valentines Day 2026 at The Mechanics Institute, 117-119 Sturt St, Ballarat Victoria.  The event has been supported by some of our members, such as Darrell Lea and Stems Flower Market. Proceeds (minus venue fee) from ticket prices and the raffle will be directly donated to Berry Street to support the work they do in the community to help families flee dangerous environments.
