… and a bunch of top Australian authors have teamed together to introduce you to some of the best of Aussie fiction. (And one Kiwi—me.)
So if you’re looking for something to read this winter/spring, click here to check out Aussie August, featuring:
- Narelle Atkins
- Liz Chapman
- Amanda Deed
- Christine Dillon
- Jenny Glazebrook
- Iola Goulton
- Sheridan Lee
- Carolyn Miller
- Jennifer Mistmorgan
- Meredith Resce
- Jessica Wakefield
The novels in the promotion include all three finalists in the Adult Fiction category of the 2024 CALEB Awards from Omega Writers, Australia’s network for Christian writers. The finalists are:
- Where Our Hearts Lie by Jenny Glazebrook
- Broken Spirit by Sheridan Lee
- Heart in the Clouds by Jennifer Mistmorgan
The Aussie August lineup also includes several other CALEB winners:
- The Game by Amanda Deed (2010)
- Grace in the Shadows by Christine Dillon (2019)
- In Want of a Wife by Meredith Resce (2022)
I recently read a blog post by Australian book reviewer Jenny Blake where talked about how she prefers promotions that are all Christian stories, rather than a mix of Christian and clean fiction.
While I haven’t read all the novels in the promotion, I have read most of them and can confirm they are Christian fiction, not just fiction written by Christians or “clean reads”.
The two authors I haven’t read are Sheridan Lee and Liz Chapman, and I’m looking forward to reading Broken Spirit and Valerie Rose soon … just as soon as I get the draft of Always in My Heart off to my fellow Trinity Lakes authors to beta read.
Jenny also mentioned how much she’s enjoying her two-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited (aka KU), which is a good time to point out that all the Trinity Lakes novels are in KU …
So if you’re looking for something to read on Kindle, check out Aussie August. And if you prefer paper books, most of the titles are available from Koorong or Amazon.
