Good as Gold is an Australian historical fiction re-imagining of the first Melbourne Cup, in 1861.
The story follows an escaped orphan, a copper and his prisoner, and a gang of bushrangers travelling to Melbourne town for the cup.
Each is looking for something different — a new beginning, a chance to make history, to win a prize — but in the end, only one can get the gold.
Mr Smith has had a long career in radio as a presenter and executive producer, and has won multiple awards for journalism and broadcasting.
He’s currently a columnist with the Melbourne Herald Sun and a weekly guest on Channel Seven’s Sunrise program and Sky News.
It was in 2020 that Mr Smith started publishing books, starting with his first novel, Babies of the Rose.
Then, early last year, Mr Smith published Cooper Not Out.
Mr Smith will visit the Shepparton and Violet Town libraries on Friday, September 22.
He will visit Shepparton Library at 1pm, followed by a visit to Violet Town Library at 4pm.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at both libraries.
