Hi Bree, couldn't help but respond...a friend and I run a blog called Fair Dinkum Crime where we review and discuss Aussie crime fiction. It's not all women writers but we just posted our list of most impressive crime fiction for the year and of the 10 titles we chose 5 were by women. We've reviewed quite a few other Aussie women writers on the site too so I hope we can help you find something for this callenge http://fairdinkumcrime.com/2011/12/21...
Thanks Bernadette, I had a look and found a few titles that look very interesting. Crime fiction is much better represented now.

A sweltering 41deg here today - perfect to lay inside with the air con going and read! I finished my first book for the challenge....The Hypnotist's Love Story, by Liane Moriarty.
I've read Liane Moriarty's first three books and Three Wishes is still my favourite. Love the Sydney setting.
I have that one on my TBR shelf in a bundle with The Last Anniversary. Looking forward to getting to both of them at some stage.
Just finished Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta - amazing! It made me cry and laugh... loved it so much. And I'm -very- happy I have The Piper's Son to start straight away.
It's a good book, isn't it Bree! Did you do a review? I haven't read The Piper's Son..I'll wait to hear your opinion!!
Incredible book! I've only read before Looking for Alibrandi and it was a goal of mine to read more of Marchetta's work this year... So glad I did! I haven't written my review yet but I will. I should do it now but I really want to read The Piper's Son instead.

Great review and interview Bree! I received a copy of Bella's Run from the publishers this morning at work...I'm looking forward to reading it:)

I have posted a review of The Mistake by Wendy James up on my blog today! A fabulous read that I'd definitely recommend. href=http://1girl2manybooks.wordpress.com/... Mistake
Fantastic review Bree. I finished it while we were on holidays (just home yesterday) so I am yet to write my review. Awesome book!
Thanks Brenda, I thoroughly enjoyed that one. Looking forward to reading your review and hearing your thoughts on it too.
Today I have a guest post with author Jennifer Paynter who has just released her first novel, Mary Bennet which is a retelling of Pride & Prejudice from Mary's point of view. Jennifer did a blog piece for me about just what it was like writing Mary as the protagonist. The link is href="http://1girl2manybooks.wordpress.com/... here
