NEW BOOK NEWS
1. The final revisions for my 2020 book ( yet to be titled ) but set on the glorious Great Barrier Reef have gone back to thepublisher:
From Australian author Annie Seaton comes a compulsive story of hidden agendas and turbulent seas, set against the glorious backdrop of the Great Barrier Reef.
Bethany Kristensen faces her toughest challenge to date: skippering the family’s charter boat business. After years of solo experience in the Gulf as the first female captain of a commercial fishing boat, this should have been a breeze. But with a rival charter company doing their utmost to undercut her prices and reputation the Kristensen’s business is in danger. Winning the tender for a new scientific research program headed out to the furthest edge of the reef is her last chance to keep the business going.
Determined to prove herself to the reticent and disapproving team leader, Peter Brooks, Beth pushes her boat and crew to the limit. But when vandalism turns to outright sabotage and things take a drastic turn, Beth will need to dig deeper than ever before to bring her crew home safely from the turbulent seas of the reef…

2. Pippa is out in the world and getting great reviews!
"I loved this! I know the area where the story is set and could feel myself there just as if I was one of the girls. Great storyline and setting on the island as the long time friends set off on a new adventure together.. I also like how the story is left with a touch of mystery to lead us into the next book." THanks Kirstie G!
3. Eliza will be out at the end of March... she has been a real surprise to me!
4. Lucy's Story (Love Across TIme-Book 3) will be out in the second half of the year
5. The fourth book in the Porter Sisters series will be out at the end of the year. The new edition of Diamond Sky... click here...has the first chapter at the back.

My News
We had a wonderful family summer holiday at home. Lots of visitors, catching up with old friends, and lots of family dinners with our children, thier partners and our three gorgeous grandchildren! We also spent a lot of time in our fishing boat, but alas it's been too windy for fish to be caught! That is a photo of our local beach below.
Now that I have had a good rest, I am back at my desk hard at work!
(Until we go away this week for a short trip north, that is!)

I am so excited about the Pentecost Island series. Let me tell you how it all began.
Two years ago I was on a research trip for my 2020 book . ..the reef story that still does not have a title. Soon, the publisher promises me!
Anyway we were motoring down through the Whitsunay Passage back to Mackay, and had left Hamilton Island behind, when all of a sudden this magnificent island appeared in the distance.
I crossed to the map in the saloon... the map that will be in the Reef book... and discovered it was called Pentecost Island. The story of my girls moving to the island and starting a resort came to me that aftternoon as we motored down the coast. Pippa has now been released and Eliza is well underway and wil be available at th end of next month. (she is up for preorder on all sites and in print now)
Nell, Tam, Evie, Cherry, Odessa, Sonya, Tess and Isla's stories will follow every couple of months
YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE SERIES HERE: BOOK 1 IS AVAILABLE NOW
TEN BEAUTIFUL STORIES OF FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS, AND THE UNBREAKABLE BOND THAT SEES FRIENDS STAY TOGETHER THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE.
The first reviews have been wonderful and it seems my readers are enjoying reading Pippa as much as I enjoyed writing her.
