I’m excited to let everyone know that my book ‘Finding Eliza’ is to be launched at 2pm on Sunday 22nd April 2018, at the Majorca Hall in Majorca (Central Victoria).
This story has been a long time coming. It’s changed as I’ve changed. The characters have developed as I’ve developed my craft as a writer. For reasons that sometimes evaded me, I have persevered with getting this story to completion and shaping it into a novel that I can now call complete. I have learnt so much about the world of writing, publishing and the demanding stages and processes that are required for a book production.
Knill McMillan’s life is perfectly ordinary: country upbringing, caring parents, best mates with his cousins. He is a young man with the world before him. But he’s always had a sense he doesn’t quite fit in, doesn’t quite belong. And then one night he is brutally beaten. As he lies bleeding on the ground his attacker calls him something that he is unable to get out of his mind. And so begins a journey he never envisaged – to understand who he really is, and where he really belongs.

Fantastic news Heather. I am going to try to make it, but if not where else can I get a copy? It’s so great to hear that the Finding Eliza story will finally be ‘out there’, I can’t wait to hear it, so inspiring xo

Thanks so much Melissa. It would be lovely to see you at the launch but understand if you can’t make it. I will have a book purchase function up on line very soon. Also in a couple of weeks it will be in Collins on Lydiard Street Bookstore and Ballarat Books. Hope all is going well for you and the family. Heather
