I’m as happy as a cow with a mouthful of cud!
WHY? Because I have the pleasure of hosting multi-award winning author (and friend), Helene Young, when she visits sunny Coffs Harbour for library chats next month. (More on Helene below).
And for you, I have a copy of Helene’s latest release, Burning Lies, to give away on this blog.
HOW TO WIN**
Leave a comment. Tell me something that means ‘small town life’ to you – quaint, quintessential, quirky country characters, etc. Or, if you are better with pictures than words, you can ‘like‘ me and post a picture on my Facebook Author Page. (In fact, feel free to ‘like’ my author page anyway. The more the merrier!)
Give it some thought. Take your time. Deadline is Monday 27 July 2012. Winner announced here and on my Author Page.**
ABOUT HELENE YOUNG
Helene, Senior Check and Training Captain with Australia’s largest regional airline, lives near Cairns (that slice of paradise on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef in North Queensland) with her husband and their dog, a slightly obsessive Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Zeus; yet she finds the view from the cockpit as she flies over rural communities is what inspires her to use regional settings rather than cities for her novels.
Burning Lies is the third fabulous book in her Border Watch series.
LIBRARY CHAT
Hear Helene talk about her life and work at the Coffs Harbour City Library on Tuesday, 7th August – 5:30 for a 6:00pm start. For more info and to book.

**Open to Australian residents only. Entry deadline Friday 27 July 2012. Winner announced here. Deadline to be extended to 6 August 2012.
Thanks to everyone who commented here and on Facebook. I put all your names in a hat (yes, an Akubra of course) and drew out the name Raelene Hall. Congratulations Raelene. I will let Helene know. Please email me your postal address: jennifersmcleod (at) hotmail (dot) com
Oooops! Looks like I forgot to sign up for the 2013 Australian Women Writers Challenge. I signed up last year but failed miserably. I read books but did not review. (Well, I did have a good excuse. My first novel, first editing, first everything year kind of had my attention – and I don’t multi task too well these days.)
