Christina, I have since read and really enjoyed The Exiles. Interestingly, when I went to buy it, I found - and also purchased - another book, also called The Exiles, also about a young woman sent to Australia as a convict after a petty crime. By William Stuart Long, one of a series, written several decades ago. Were you aware of this book/ the series by William Stuart Long, when you wrote yours?

Thanks so much, Jacqui. I heard of that book (after I chose my own title), published more than 40 years ago, but haven't read it. I love The Exiles and think it works well for my novel. I hope you agree! xo
