Here it is!
I am excited to finally release details of the new historical fiction novel that will be published end March….here’s the blurb to whet your appetite.
Luc Bonet lost his family at birth and is brought up by wealthy French Jews in the foothills of the French Alps. When he is confronted with his true identity he joins the French resistance, leaving behind his family’s fortune, their home overrun by soldiers, their lavender fields in tatters.
Lisette Forestier is on a mission of her own, to work her way into the heart of a senior German officer – and to infiltrate the masterminds of the Nazi hierarchy. What Luc and Lisette hadn’t counted on was meeting each other. When they come together at the height of the Paris occupation German traitors are plotting to change the course of history. But who, if anyone, can be trusted, and will their emotions become their greatest betrayer of all?
Set against the backdrop of turbulent WWII France, this is a rollercoaster of a read that has it all – action and adventure on every page, heartbreak and horror, love and passion, battles and treachery. And accompanying Luc every step of the way is a pouch of lavender seeds, a symbol of freedom and hope, and the promise of a new life in a faraway land…if only they can make it through.
I can’t wiat Fi! Will definitely be getting my hands on a copy as soon as it hits the book stores
Thanks….look out for it last week in March. Perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day….anytime!

starting to get a bit worried as to what you were going to write next. as soon as this book hits the shelf i will have my copy
Never worry, Christine, there is always a book on the go! In fact coming up this year is the release of The Lavender Keeper, the release of a new children’s fantasy and the release of a new adult fantasy and we already have two new releases lined up for 2013. Plenty on the wind! If you keep reading them, I’ll keep writing them! Many thanks for the loyalty xx
Woo hoo!!!! I can’t wait
have been waiting for another one of your great historical fiction books. Fields of Gold was fantastic i’m sure this one will be just as good 
. Will you be doing another book tour in adelaide like you did in 2010 at the Marion library?
Hi Amber
Thank you – glad you loved Fields of Gold. Have to admit, The Lavender Keeper is my favourite tale. I loved writing it for so many reasons – the wartime era, the Parisian streets I walk the characters through, the lavender fields of Provence, and then the characters themselves – a tense, heartbreaking triangle, each with their own special story and a strong action/adventure underpinning a bittersweet romantic tale. I know you’re going to love it!
And yes, absolutely, I’ll be back in SA on tour and I’m sure we can do something fun again at Marion. See you there.
Has definitely “whet” my appetite Fiona!
Yay! Beautiful cover F – you can just about smell the lavender! Look forward to the launch!
I’ve already left HUGE hints about what I would like for Mother’s Day
So much better than a box of chocolates for Easter too! Thanks Nicola. I hope I’ll meet you when I’m on the move around the states and that I will have the opportunity to sign your book.
I CANT WAIT!! I am just finishing Destiny and although I want to find out what happens I dont want the book to end! I am looking forward to your new book release and enjoy all that you pen.
That’s what I love to hear, Vikki! Not wanting a book to end is a fantastic compliment, thankyou!
