Out TODAY! 🎉 Thanks to all the incredible people at Allen & Unwin, Audible, and Curtis Brown Australia. In a world where ChatGPT exists, human writers need to focus on quality over quantity, take creative risks, and write from their own experience rather than regurgitating things which have been done before. But I would never have had the guts to write something so deeply personal if I wasn't dead certain that these three fantastic teams would have my back every step of the way, turning this story into the most enthralling version of itself. Thanks also to all the wonderful authors who provided quotes, and most of all to my wife for encouraging me (egging me on, in fact). Find at your favourite bookshop in Australia/New Zealand, in the Audible app, or online at jackheathwriter.com/books . And if you're in Melbourne, Sydney or Canberra, grab a slice of wedding cake at one of the launches: jackheathwriter.com/events . If you have thoughts about the book, I'd love to hear them--tag me in your posts!

Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens

Novel about aged care, community and the meaning of freedom I was looking for my next gardening book while waiting for my very overdue baby to arrive, and this came up as a recommendation. It also won the 2023 Miles Franklin Award so was getting a considerable amount of hype. The title was very cute as well. Image is the audiobook cover of “Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens”. The cover is an…

Then, when Henry’s off filming his dream role, she learns she’s pregnant. Unable to tell him and feeling more alone than ever, Izzy runs to the safety of her grandparents’ home in Australia, leaving only an empty house for Henry to find upon his return. Heartbroken and confused, Henry follows Izzy to Australia, determined to win her back, but he’s about to learn their relationship wasn’t quiet as perfect as he believed..

Anybody have tips for finding Australian books on Scribd/Everand? The categories are already hard to navigate since they're actually too specific sometimes but I wish there was a #loveozya one.

as an Australian, it is tough to get special editions/ hardbacks of any kind of my fav books!! that being said, i have been lucky enough to get a hold of the water stones edition of Any Way The Wind Blows!! it now matches my Wayward Son cover! but my Carry On copy doesn’t match still 😓 is a matching set of books too much to ask as an aussie? 😩😤
