Bega Valley Shire Council invites you to join best-selling Australian rural romance author, Fiona McArthur when she speaks about her latest novel, Back to Birdsville at the Bega and Bermagui libraries on Thursday 5 September.
Library Co-ordinator, Yvette Parker said this uniquely Australian romance, which was released on 30 July, captures all the colour and excitement of the famous Birdsville races.
“It’s a novel that celebrates women who are always there for each other, the caring side of men and the challenges and optimism experienced by remote families,” Ms Parker said.
“Drawing from her earlier life as a rural midwife, Fiona shares her love of working with women, families and health professionals in her books.
“Her love of the Australian landscape meshes beautifully with warm, funny, multigenerational characters as she highlights challenges for rural and remote families and the strength shared between women.
“Fiona was awarded the NSW Excellence in Midwifery Award in 2015 and the Australian Ruby Award for Contemporary Romantic Fiction in 2020 and was shortlisted for the same award in 2023.
“We know our members are keen readers of Australian rural fiction, so this is a wonderful chance to meet one of the most popular authors of this genre.”
Both events are supported by Candelo Books, with copies of Fiona’s titles for sale on the day. Tea and coffee will be supplied.
