Her Time to Shine back cover blurb:
Sometimes serendipity comes knocking, and life leads
us to the most surprising places …
While very pretty, the tiny town of Melrose isn’t
where Erica thought she’d be at almost fifty. And
working in a funeral home and suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder, while navigating her
grief as a recent widow, is not how she thought her
life would look either. But she’s committed to her
lovely new boss, Walter, who gave her a chance when
she so desperately needed it.
Erica’s friends and daughters back in Adelaide cheer
her on as she discovers a genuine love for her new
job, forms friendships and immerses herself in the
local community. But why is she being plagued with
fresh bouts of anxiety and flashes of partial
memories of her brother Mark who died when she was
eleven? Why is there so much about him she doesn’t
know and can’t remember? And why does it feel like
it’s more about her than him?
But she has to put it all aside when, despite being
happy and settled, Erica is suddenly called upon to
step up and face her deepest fear. If she can, what
will she discover about herself and her past? And
what will it mean for her future?
From Australia’s master storyteller, a tender story
about finding strength and fulfilment after major
upheaval, and discovering you can only outrun your
true calling for so long …

To all of my wonderfully supportive readers and listeners via audio, booksellers and librarians - thank you. Your loyalty and appreciation mean so much to me. It's because of you that my manuscripts are no longer doorstops and I am able to live my dream of being a novelist.
