I love me some rural fiction and have adored Penelope Janu novels from the first one I read years ago now! Animals, adventure and romance go so well together don't they! The Summerfield Saddler is Penelope Janu's eighth novel and I just loved it- Mac is such a plucky main character, her grandpa Gordon is the best, I would have let Keith Urban (the dog) stay in the nursing home too...loved it all, Kit is just so dreamy...just wait til you've met his acquaintance...what a viking!! Loved it all so much!!!! And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

Hannah Richell talks about the writing craft and process behind her novel The Search Party. Writing topics include structure, point of view, character development, dual timelines, backstory, reveals, editing, and writer's retreats. Have you ever read a novel and thought to yourself ‘how on earth did the author pull it off?' That's exactly what crossed my mind when I read The Search Party by Hannah Richell. Hannah is a beautiful writer and her talent is on display again with this novel, her fifth. The Search Party is bit of a departure for her. Hannah's novels always have a mystery element but with this novel she's taken it up a notch. It's not a police procedural but the police investigation does play an important part in how the novel is structured. And of course, at the heart of the novel, as with all of Hannah's novels, are the relationships, this time with a focus on friendships, specifically old friendships that don't necessarily stand the test of time.Hannah and I had the most wonderful chat. She talked about how she wrangled the 8 points of view, how she restructured the novel when she realised it wasn't ‘hooky' enough, her editing process, how she managed the dual timeline and incorporated backstory, and what she did to make sure the reveals were in the best place. We also talked about writing retreats - how she does it, where she goes, why she goes. I know many of you have the same kind of life constraints that Hannah does - partner, kids, work - so this is something I'm sure you'll be curious about.You'll find links to buy both paperback and ebook versions of The Search Party by Hannah Richell here.ABOUT THE SEARCH PARTYMax and Annie Kingsley have left the London rat race to set up a glamping site in the wilds of Cornwall. They invite old university friends – TV star Dominic, doctor and new mum Kira, and free-spirited Jim and Suze – and their children for a trial weekend but the reunion quickly veers off-course.First, there's The Incident around the campfire on the first night. The following afternoon, a storm quickly develops off the rugged North Coast. When one of their group goes missing, all hell breaks loose. And as the winds batter the bell-tents, emotions run high and tension mounts for all the characters.Who is lying in hospital, who has gone missing and who is the body on the beach below the cliffs . . .?Gripping, cleverly structured and brimming with secrets and lies, this is a masterclass in narrative tension and a chilling exploration of the ways in which aspiration and anxiety collide. It will keep you guessing until the last page. ABOUT HANNAH RICHELLHannah Richell was born in Kent and spent her childhood years in Buckinghamshire and Canada. After graduating from the University of Nottingham, she worked in the book publishing and film industries in both London and Sydney. She is a dual citizen of Great Britain and Australia, and currently lives in the South West of England with her family. Richell is the author of international bestsellers Secrets of the Tides (2012), The Shadow Year (2014), The Peacock Summer (2019) and The River Home (2020). Her work has been translated into twenty-one languages. Wow, phenomenal. Hannah is also a judge for the Richell Prize for Emerging Writers which was set up in memory of her late husband Matt.Website: https://www.hannahrichell.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahrichell Facebook: https://en-gb.facebook.com/hannahrichellauthor X: https://twitter.com/hannahrichell Buy The Search Party by Hannah Richell here.Special shout out to Penelope Janu, Fiona Taylor and Jemma from Reading For Keeps for your excellent questions.

Welcome to the monthly New Release Featured Author episode for January 2021. And this one is a bonus extended edition! This week Pam chats to rural Romance author Penelope Janu about her new release Starting From Scratch... After a troubled childhood and the loss of her beloved grandmother, Sapphie Brown finally finds somewhere to call home - the close-knit rural community of Horseshoe Hill. The locals love Sapphie because she never gives up - as chair of the environment committee, with the children in her classes, the troubled teens at the youth centre, the ex-racehorses she cares for and even the neglected farmhouse and gardens she wants make her own. Sapphie gives second chances to everything and everyone. Except Matts Laarkin. An impossibly attractive environmental engineer who travels the world, Matts was Sapphie's closest childhood friend. He came to deliver a warning - now he doesn't want to leave. All Sapphie wants to do is forget their painful past, but thrown together they discover an attraction that challenges what they thought they knew about each other. Do they have a chance to recapture what they lost so long ago? Or will long-buried secrets tear them apart? In the flowers she creates from paper and the beauty that grows on the land, Sapphie has found perfect imperfection. Could that be what love is like too? Pam and Pen chat about the writing process, characters, setting and publication of Starting from Scratch before diving into four curly questions as part of this special one off Special Extended Edition.
