And the real jetty is?

I’m visiting Fleur McDonald’s blog today talking about small towns and why I love writing about them. Fleur’s also found the jetty which features on Safe Harbour’s cover. It’s the Esperance Tanker Jetty! Fiona Palmer picked it when the cover was first released and Fleur’s now shared a link to a newspaper story in The Continue reading

We had a fabulous evening at Black Cat Books and Café on Thursday celebrating SAFE HARBOUR’s release. A huge thank you to Steph, Hadley and the team.

Safe Harbour
