It's been another long hard year, but we're very pleased to be able to announce another title in our 'To Be Continued' series!

In this collection of nineteenth-century fiction bushfires deepen the pain of a tragic love triangle, bring justice to a false mate, and push a young drover and his horse to the limits of their endurance. A priest and wedding guests find themselves fighting fires instead of toasting the happy couple. A woman capable of saving her farm from fire cannot save herself from the proprietary rage of men. And a good horse and a faithful dog prove themselves the best allies in a dangerous situation.

And, of course, you can buy a copy of 'The Sultan's Daughter', the novel Jane is talking about, from us online.

Set against the backdrop of the slave trade and the impossible wealth of the Sultans of Zanzibar, Salmé’s story of forbidden love unfolds dramatically and takes her further into exile. The Sultan’s Daughter follows real life events. It is a story of great love, and of great loss.
