Coming in April 2025: BARREN CAPE.

Michelle Prak's debut thriller THE RUSH was published by Simon & Schuster ANZ; Crooked Lane Books (US); and by HarperCollins France, as LE DELUGE. It's a road trip thrill ride that takes place over two frantic days.

THE RUSH was voted into Better Reading's annual Top 100 reads (2024), and longlisted in the Sisters of Crime Australia Davitt Awards.

Also a short story writer, Michelle was runner-up in the Furphy Literary Prize, 2021.
Between 2019 and 2020, Michelle self-published three women's contemporary novels. Now she's turned to the thriller genre and hopes fans will follow along.

Long before Michelle began writing professionally she was a reader and continues to share on Goodreads.

That approach (knowing the ending) helps me overcome writer's block.
If I do feel stumped, or I don't feel like writing at all, I make myself sit down at the keyboard anyway, and look over what I've recently written. It doesn't take long for the creative juices to start flowing again.(less)

My second thriller: Barren Cape

I’m so excited to share that Simon and Schuster Australia & New Zealand will publish my second thriller Barren Cape in April 2025. Like The Rush, Barren Cape is an eerie and action-packed novel set in South Australia – this time along the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula.

Thriller novel, Barren Cape, will be published in April 2025

Homelessness is at the heart of this story. We know that Australia (and many other countries) is experiencing a homeless and ren
