Good things come in threes, they say.
So April is definitely full of good things. My
three writing buddies from Australian Outback Romances and Mysteries have all released new novels this week.
Bronwyn Parry’s long awaited third book, DEAD HEAT, has been published by Hachette Australia.
THE ROAD HOME by fellow Penguin author, Fiona Palmer, has already hit the shelves- it’s also her third book.
And lastly, Fleur McDonald’s third book, PURPLE ROADS, is in stores now.
Gorgeous covers aside they take three very different approaches to authentic Australian stories with rural settings.
I’ve already started Bron’s story and am loving it. More gritty drama set in wild country with a hero who just may be my all time favourite. There’s something about a fiercely protective predator that stirs my heart.
I look forward to reading the other two – just as soon as I get through my Simulator Check this weekend and the final proof edits on BURNING LIES!
Later this month I hope all three will be visiting the blog! I’m also hoping to try a Google Hangout with Bron 🙂
And if you’re looking for unbiased reviews of these and many other books check out the Book’d Out blog.
Looking forward to a wonderful conference, Amanda, and lots of interactive writing with you guys in the workshop!!
Fabulous work ladies… can’t wait to add yours in Helene!
Thanks for dropping by, Paula. Glad you enjoyed Bella’s Run. I loved Dead Heat – it was riveting. I’d highly recommend it to both romance and crime lovers.
I’m hoping to start The Road Home today then on to Purple Roads next week! A feast of stories ahead of me!!
It is a huge year for Aussie releases and the Penguin digital first line is ramping up for its launch later this year as well!
Would you believe I just finished Bella’s Run at about 11pm last night. Another fantastic read – where can I get me one of those cowboys???? OK OK I’m allowed to dream aren’t I LOL. You go girls – I’m totally loving all the new Aussie releases this year and I can’t wait for your next book Helene 🙂
WOOHOO – three of my fav. authors :)) I’ve just actually finished Purple Roads and LOVED IT!!! I’m picking up The Road Home today from my local Library and eagerly awaiting Dead Heat to arrive at the Library – I’m first on the holds list :))))
Oo! Guess what? I won a copy of Suzanne Brandyn’s ”Forgotten Memories”. What a lovely lady. I look forward to meeting her at conference. 🙂
Go girls!!
Oh they well, Sandy:)
And Bella’s Run by Margareta Osborne is Number 1 on the Australian Fiction list on the Nielson Bookscan – that is a huge achievement 🙂
Well done, ladies! Hope you all do well. 🙂
Thanks, Fiona, I’ll have to remember to bring my copy of The Road Home down to the Gold Coast for a signature!!
Enjoy your release week 🙂
Cath, can you squeeze them in for next month’s HT?? It would be a shame not see their gorgeous covers in the magazine…
Oh I don’t know Cath, but would love to help out anytime 🙂
Now we are just eagerly awaiting yours now Helene!! I can’t wait to add it to my signed collection of your books. 🙂 xx
Oh, what a great month of releases!
But how come none of them made April’s Hearts Talk (with my HT hat on)?
