AUSTRALIAN MADE
Autumn Leaves (2015)
Six Australian chick lit authors ?- Samantha Bond, Laura Greaves, Carla Caruso, Georgina Penny, Katie Spain and Sandy Vaile - have joined forces to publish a collection of short stories. Each story shares the common theme of autumn running through the narrative. One experience might be the dropping temperatures at the New York Marathon or returning to your home town after years away as the trees start to shed their leaves. Whilst the weather might be cooling, hearts are racing as decisions must be made about life and love. They are short and sassy stories, great to curl up with on a cool autumn evening. See below for more on each story. (LF)
