natalie conyer – present tense

Click on image to buy book from Booktopia.

Fast paced crime thriller set in modern South Africa.

Natalie Conyer was born and grew up in South Africa but has been an Australian for many years now. So she had to return a few times to refresh her memories and also consult with the crime squads there over her many details. Its such an interesting read, even if you need the Glossary at the back for some of the terms! She has won a number of awards for her short stories, but this is her first full length novel.

JO LENNAN – ‘IN THE TIME OF FOXES’

Jo Lennan has written a delicious collection of haunting tales with a theme of ‘foxes’. Sometimes they are real foxes, sometimes metaphorical even mystical – but this is great book to take to bed so you get the satisfaction of a conclusion before sleeping!
