Hear Helene Young at Mitcham Library , Monday, 2pm on 3rd June 2013 - Updated 6:40 PM 25/04/2013
|
Helene Young lives aboard a catamaran moored near the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea. She shares her sailing adventures with her husband and their dog, Zeus. Her work as a senior captain with a major regional airline takes her all over Australia and she draws inspiration for her stories from the communities she visits. She won the Romance Writers of Australia (RWA) Romantic Book of the Year Award in 2011 and 2012. She was also voted most popular romantic suspense author by the Romance Readers of Austra
lia (ARRA) in 2010 and 2011, and shortlisted for the same award in 2012.
A compelling story of danger and desire by the award-winning author of Burning Lies
Half Moon Bay is Helene's new novel.
Ellie Wilding has been running from her past, but when the residents of Half Moon Bay call for help she knows it's finally time to return home. As an international photojournalist, she's used to violence in war zones, but she's shocked when it erupts in the sleepy hamlet on the north coast of New South Wales, threatening all she holds dear.
Battle-weary Nicholas Lawson walked away from his military career leaving unfinished business. In a coastal backwater, that decision returns to haunt him. He remembers all too vividly his last lethal assignment in Afghanistan when Ellie's sister, Nina, was shot and killed. Ellie's been in his dreams ever since, even if she doesn't remember him …
As a storm rages and floodwaters rise, Ellie struggles to save her community. But who can she trust? Nick Lawson, the dangerously attractive stranger with secrets, or an old friend who's never let her down? |

Meet Hannah Kent, author of sensational new novel Burial Rites, at Unley Library - Updated 4:16 PM 18/05/2013
|
Hannah Kent was born in Adelaide in 1985. As a teenager she travelled to Iceland on a Rotary Exchange, where she first heard the story of Agnes Magnusdottir condemned to death in 1829, for her part in the brutal murder of two men.
Hannah’s book has been described as one of the most assured debut novels the publisher has seen, and was awarded a $10,000 prize for an unpublished manuscript.. An intense bidding war has resulted with international rights sold in 7 figure deals.
Based on a true story, Burial Rites is a deeply moving novel about personal freedom: who we are seen to be versus who we believe ourselves to be, and the ways in which we will risk everything for love. In beautiful, cut-glass prose, Hannah Kent portrays Iceland's formidable landscape, where every day is a battle for survival, and asks, how can one woman hope to endure when her life depends upon the stories told by others?
