DANGEROUS TO KNOW: Australian author Anne Buist


Natalie King is a forensic psychiatrist experiencing PTSD in the aftermath of a terrifying physical attack. She struggles against her self-imposed quiet lifestyle. It is just not her. Natalie is unpredictable, she lives her life according to her own dictates. Sometimes to the frustration of the reader. The involvement of three attractive & largely different male characters add zing to the story.

Despite her own emotional issues, she is drawn into a criminal investigation into two unexplained deaths. Viewed through the trained eye of a psychiatrist, there is greater insight into the behaviour of the other characters,

Set in Victoria – Melbourne & Lorne region, there is a nice sense of background. Anne has alternated the chapters between third & first person, which adds another dimension to an already page turning plot.


FAT BITS: Australian author Hettie Ashwin


This a raunchy romp that had me laughing out loud. Hettie has a string of books to her credit but this is my absolute favourite. Warning it is fairly sexually explicit.

Excerpt: A Hint of Darkness

A Hint of Darkness  alludes to the darkness of betrayal. Emmaline and Ellie are born in different centuries, yet linked by kinship and the bonds of sisterhood. Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.’ William Jennings Bryant 1 From the journals of Emmaline Gidley-King  Cooktown North Qld Australia  11 th February 1879 Mama: will I never be free of her malevolent presence? It has taken the most commonplace, yet startling of events, to prompt me to begin my writing. Last night, exhausted by Lilli’s constant demands, I fell into bed without performing my hair-braiding ritual. This morning confronted by a wild tangle of curls, and bemoaning my lack of discipline, I attempted to drag a brush through the knotted black mass. Through tear-starred eyes I surveyed my image in the mirror. My breath escaped in a hiss. Mama’s dark almond eyes stared back at me. That despised face. I recoiled in hor

BOOKS PUBLISHED –NOW HOW TO GET YOUR NAME OUT THERE?

 26 TH March 2019 BOOKS PUBLISHED –NOW HOW TO GET YOUR NAME OUT THERE?   Finding a way through the maze of creating an author platform and still having time to write, is a major problem for many authors. But if your name isn’t out there and on people’s reading list you might as well turn off your computer & concentrate on writing letters instead.   I have been on the mailing list for AUTHORS PUBLISH for some time. Reading bits here & there.   Not doing too much with the info. NOW I have struck gold. I downloaded their free copy of HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR WORK edited by Caitlin Jans who is also the editor of Authors Publish Magazine. Fourteen authors have contributed to this work. I have no doubt it will take me some time to work my way through & utilise the information. I’ve set myself up a daily to do list. The contents are set out in an easy to follow index, it is the magnitude of what I’m looking at & where I go from here that has me jumping up & down.

THE SMORGASBORD OF LIFE.

What more satisfying for an author than receiving great feedback from your readers. I have always been confident in myself as a writer BUT have to admit to being a tad scared that maybe people wouldn’t like my work. Of course all of the feedback I’ve had has been positive the people who hate it have kept it to themselves. Thank you!!!! Still I’d love to hear from those of you who have read my book(s)  I really would welcome your feedback. Please share comments with me on any of my posts. Sarah Jorgensen 9:26 PM (19 hours ago) to  me Hi Lori I just wanted to say I have just finished the first book and I LOVED IT! I couldn’t put it down. The attention to detail, the story, the journey of Emmaline was so amazing and seemed very real. What a story, I can’t wait to read the next instalment. It should be a best seller!
