The Secret Reader

Beschreibung

The Barrington girl-posse continue their monthly book club meetings, and somehow it becomes an incubator for new business ideas. And relationships. Rachael struggles daily with her grief, and attends to share memories of her daughter. But book club gives her so much more. Judith arrives, believing she's ready for retirement. Or is she? Harry Stewart is home from up north, and on the first night, he bumps into little Freddie Campbell at the local pub. But she's not little any more. Millie is happy in the café and with Finn, but her estranged daughter Hanna is coming to visit. Can they mend their relationship? And Hanna would rather read than take a chance on a player. Over six months, catch up with old characters and new as secrets are revealed and lives changed.

Autor

A voracious reader, Susan dreamed of becoming a writer from the age of eight. Career advisors told her it wasn't a real thing and suggested journalism. So she became a journalist, then took a zig-zag path to publish her first book in 2020, via a varied career in publishing, marketing, tourism and small business. Susan even worked in State Government for a few years (but she doesn't talk about that much). Nervous about the release of Charlie's Will, she told Bloke while sitting on the sofa one night, that she'd be happy if she sold fifty. Charlie's Will quickly reached Number One in its genre on Amazon - motivating Susan to crack on with more stories and take her writing seriously. Finally. Now Susan is a happy Indie Publisher and offers services to other writers (editing, formatting). She is also the publisher of the Love in a Sunburnt Land Anthology series, co-authored with four (quite brilliant) Aussie women. Susan loves engaging with fellow authors and readers, and she discovered something she thought was kinda funny. A lot of authors tell her they're introverted. It's a writerly thing, apparently. But (and here's the funny bit), Susan isn't. Introverted. Not one bit. Not at all. Speaking and presenting at writers festivals, conferences and libraries is totally her thing. So it's okay to send Susan a message, ask a question and chat on social media. She thrives on it and will always respond. Send her a photo of one of her books 'in the wild' and she'll share it. Everywhere.
