Woot! The team at Harper Collins tell me the audiobook of A Town Like Clarence is on sale at kobo's audiobook store. Road trip coming up over the holidays? Why not visit Clarence on the way and meet our wannabe farmer Joey and his hapless groodle. There's a pilot on the run from responsibility, a vigilante niece, bush poetry competitions, and a town committee who take their duties VERY seriously.

Reposting @susanmackieauthor review of A Town Like Clarence. Susan writes in the same genre so I'm especially chuffed. @harlequinaus #aussiebookstagrammer

It's beginning to look a lot like ... Camelia trimmings plus kitchen string plus crafty daughter who's finished exams and voila! Our little house looking festive.

It's all flowers and sunshine in Stella's garden this morning 🥰

It's a big news day with a new cover to show off and a release date to share. May 3, 2023, will see A Home Among the Snow Gums released into the world. In this story, we head back to Hanrahan, and meet all our old faves from The Vet from Snowy River, and immerse ourselves in the story of Hannah Cody. Links are below, here's the blurb, and big thanks as always to my publisher @harlequinaus The road to love is a rutted dirt track for the other vet from Snowy River ... An unmissable funny, feel-good romance from the author of The Vet From Snowy River, Stella Quinn. Hannah Cody grew up sunny, carefree and loved in the Snowy Mountains town of Hanrahan, but a vicious prank at university in Sydney changed that. Instead of studying medicine, she moved to a small regional centre, switched to veterinary science and swore off romance for life. Ten quiet years later, she's settled. She's safe. And yeah, she hasn't left Hanrahan in years, but that's not agoraphobia is it? It's not hiding if you're happy. After many years abroad as a naval analyst, Tom Krauss is drawn home by his estranged father's deteriorating health and his own secret injury. But as soon as he sets eyes on Hannah again, he realises that he's never forgotten the engaging little sister of his best friend. He loved her when he was a teenager, and now he knows he never stopped. Problem: romance is a no-go. There's a piece of shrapnel wedged against his spine, and the countdown is on for him to make a surgical decision that could free him from pain ... or paralyse him. But the Hanrahan townsfolk have other ideas: it's time for Hannah to work out that living with your heart wide open is worth the risk, and it's time for Tom to learn that love is messy and wonderful and necessary. Change is afoot in this small town, and these two will have to work out if they can be brave enough to make changes too...

Some lemon delicious covers here ... 🥰🍋 #Repost - @kate_thebooklover by @get_regrammer #wednesdayrecommendations Happy hump day, I hope you are having a wonderful week. Today I want to share some of my favourite reads, and I’d love for you to comment below what your favourite reads are… if you are like me you might have many and they change depending on the day or mood 🤣 📒 The Vet from Snowy River by @stella.quinn.author A hot vet. A rebellious teenager. And meddling but well-meaning townsfolk. Vera gets more than she bargains for when she runs off to a new life in the country ... A fresh and funny rural romance, perfect for readers of Alissa Callen and Rachael Johns. 📒 One Italian Summer by @rebecca_serle A great love story between a mother and daughter. This is a novel about how we move on after loss, and how the people we love never truly leave us. 📒 The Angry Women’s Choir by @megbignell This is a heart-warming and uplifting story about a remarkable group of women who discover they are all capable of incredible things – if they’re strong enough, and angry enough, to take up the cause. ✨ These three are absolute favourites of mine and I’d totally recommend adding these to your TBR pile if you’re yet to enjoy them. #Books #bookstagram #book #reading #bookworm #bookish #read #bibliophile #instabook #booknerd #bookshelf #bookaholic #bookaddict #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #reader #bookphotography #instabooks #katethebooklover #aussiereader

My daughter just sent me this. Joey the lordling of the house making himself at home in her room. Note the product placement on the bottom shelf 😉❤🥰📚

Jeans and collared shirts: the campdraft uniform. I took this photo in Allora while I was on a research road trip for my 2023 novel, A Home Among the Snow Gums. Hannah Cody, small town vet who hides her real self under a snarky exterior, takes up campdraft with her horse, Skipjack, and learns a lot about patience, and determination, and grit in the process.
