She came up with the idea for her novel "Animal Listeners" when still in Australia and chose the NSW south coast locale as it wasn't too far from where she was living.

Kindle Unlimited

I've finally added "Animal Listeners" to Kindle Unlimited! I'm excited to try it out.

After no ebook sales for months from anything but Amazon, I've decided to trial KDP Select.

So, if you have Kindle Unlimited, and haven't had a chance to read my novel yet, now might be the perfect time.

Excellent! Believable characters and portrayals of life on the street. Wonderful messages. They even adopt a dog from a shelter on his final chance day. An often sad, but important read, and overall it was hopeful.
