Ask at your local bookstore or library!
As the northern hemisphere cools, here in the south, summer unfolds with the roses.
I’ve been working behind the scenes to improve distribution options for my paperbacks.
You can now ask your local bookshop to order them in via Ingram Spark and Lightning Source, world-wide printers and distributors.
Most libraries will also order new books for their readers. If you enjoyed House of Diamonds and would like to read the sequels, House of Hearts, House of Spades, House of Clubs and Full House, you can ask your library to purchase them for everyone’s enjoyment.
My e-books will be discounted by 30 per cent throughout December for international library suppliers Bibliotheca and Baker and Taylor, so please let your librarians know that my e-books are more affordable than ever this month.
Even Summer Beach is available at the same discount for libraries, and who can resist a beach read and rock star romance?
Libraries are treasure troves — the keepers and curators of cultural memory, shared through the magic of the written word. They are places to browse and places to learn. Shoutout to all librarians! (Psst. Have you “met” Sondra in House of Hearts? Librarians change lives!)
Library distributors in all Australian states are now aware of my titles, so your local library should be able to easily order my paperbacks and/or ebooks. You’re welcome to let me know how you go, wherever you may be in the world!
Cover reveal
Midnight Beach will be available early in 2024. Here’s a sneak peak at the cover!
Meanwhile, I’m fine-tuning all the words, so grateful to the beta readers whose feedback helps me improve each draft.
Here’s the Midnight Beach blurb:
How long will true love wait?
In scenic Burradeer Bay, the midnight beach keeps secrets.
When a plan to sail away with her forbidden love goes awry, Nola waits faithfully for Kento’s return.
Decades later, after one too many clashes with Bronte, her high school dropout niece, Nola questions her own life choices, and flees.
A distinguished man arrives, and an antique coral ring links the past with the future.
But remorseful Bronte and frenemy Jasper can’t find Nola.
Will Nola miss her second chance at love?
Please email me if you’d like an Advance Review Copy (ARC) of Midnight Beach.
I’m indebted to generous readers who enjoy my work and share recommendations with friends and family and leave reviews, helping others to find my books.
You might like to pre-order your e-copy of Midnight Beach.
