Aussie Author August isn't over yet!

Let us introduce you to Raeleen Molloy, a Heart Writer whose debut memoir is coming 10th September - World Su***de Prevention Day.

Sugar Soap is a witty exploration of the domino effect from childhood trauma and how it impacts future relationships.

When Raeleen loses her father at an early age, her adolescent journey through 80s Australia and into motherhood is deeply influenced. S*x, drugs, and rock’n’roll collide with her deep-seated exploration of belonging.

Sugar Soap is full of hope and humour, a memoir exploring the one thing we all truly want - A place to call home.

Jessica Senff is a multi-award winning author from the Southern Tablelands. She is also a science and maths teacher (busy woman!)

Jess grew up with a thirst for books and was inspired by a variety of fantasy/fictional author's including Andre Norton, Anne Bishop, Frances Hodges Burnett, Matthew Riley and, of course, J K Rowling.

Her fantasy novels are based in magical worlds, and are centered around strong young men and women whom face a variety of unique problems, often involving evil sorcery. Yet the main characters prevail, time and again, reminding the reader that there are often solutions to be found in life - with a littler perseverance and good humour.

With Book 2 on the way, we know she'll be kicking more goals soon!
