Book Title
Rural Romance

Engineer Grayson arrives in the outback town for a six week stint of relief work, never expecting to be summoning the Flying Doctors or surviving a cyclone, let alone becoming romantically entangled with a married colleague. And HR officer Maggie never expects that this newbie’s arrival will have her confronting her feelings, and facing up to the obstacles standing in the way of true happiness.

"Highly recommended." - One Stop Fiction reviewer Kathleen Lance
I am not a fan of romance novels with insipid characters who can never manage to talk to one another. This romance is different. The setting is wonderful, the character of Maggie satisfyingly complex, and the conclusion ... very nicely done. [I highly recommend] The Long Road to Loving Grayson for fans of romance, and of light fiction in general.

Book Title #76
Women's Fiction

Five Aussie gal pals discover the true power of friendship as they confront life's little—and not so little—ups and downs. With two marriages on the brink, an unravelling web of guilty secrets, a search for direction in life, ‘trophy’ girlfriend typecasting, and more than one bombshell discovery, will they find the answers they seek or only complicate matters further?
With a mix of witty banter and relatable characters, The Café Birds is a must-read for fans of Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout, or The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs.

'This book was a joy to read! I laughed, cried, and swore all the way.' - Amazon reviewer Evonne Hutton

'A well written book, The Cafe Birds kept me entertained from the opening chapter. I laughed out loud at times and felt my heart being pummelled at others, but all in all this is an excellent read set in Australia.' - Amazon reviewer Margaret Watkins

‘This novel presents a slice of life. The characters in the book are truly human. Readers will laugh, cry, and hope that they too can become members of The Café Birds.’ – reviewer Kathleen M Lance
