That Seventies Series

Samantha’s life is perfect until she finds out her boss wants to shag her and her boyfriend’s shagging someone else. Fleeing to Melbourne, Australia before her revenge can bite her on the arse; Sam’s enjoying singledom when she runs into a macho Italian with a penchant for garlic.

Only when she’s sober does she also find out he calls his appendage after a popular luncheon meat and would be a shoo-in for a bit-part on Planet of the Apes. Add to this a nasty habit of stalking, and Sam’s love-live is once again in tatters.

At least it is until she runs into Chris, a local Melbourne guy, who seems too good to be true. Will Sam make up her mind about him before it’s too late, or will her competition make the decision for her?

Friday Night Fever is a laugh-out-loud, feel good novel about girlfriends sticking together when it comes to taking out the 'trash'. Not an easy task when you’re teetering around in platforms the size of family blocks of cheese.

She’s lost her soul mate. She doesn’t believe you get a second. Will the least likely candidate of all be able to change her mind?

Jennie Farrell always believed there was a happily ever after out there for everyone. Shame she’s missed out on her own. Rocking up in London with close friend Samantha, Jennie falls back on her long-ignored artistic skills to make ends meet. Her future is even looking bright when she runs into Rupert Smythe-Brown, an aristocratic prat used to getting his own way, no matter who gets hurt in the process.

Painted into a corner, Jennie turns feral and Rupert doesn’t know what’s hit him. Well he does, but for once he’s not enjoying it. Thank goodness she’s got Mark, a strapping six foot four Aussie bloke watching her back and keeping her out of trouble — at least when he’s not trying to get her into it.

Brush With Fame is a chuckle along, feel good book for any woman who’s ever wanted to fight back but hasn’t felt strong enough.

She gave up on family a long time ago. Now she’s been ‘adopted’, is there anything she wouldn’t do to protect those brave enough to take her on? Heck no there isn’t!

Brenda Munroe was mercenary even as a child. It was that or going hungry, or worse. From stealing school lunches, she’d moved onto bigger, better and even legal things. Life is finally looking up for her when her carefully created world comes crashing down. Stuck thousands of miles from home and broke, it’s going to take every ounce of her street smarts to survive this time.

Strapped for cash — and with a real aversion to the old nine-to-five — Brenda opens a residential school for girls, teaching them in weeks what it’s taken her years to master. Namely, how to get by on good looks and a bucket-load of charm.

Will her students be the only ones learning new skills, or will Brenda finally understand family’s about a whole lot more than the blood relations you’ve been lumbered with?

Strapped for Cash is a rollicking, laugh-out-loud book for any woman who’s ever wanted to take life by the scruff of the neck and shake the heck out of it.

Sun, sea, sand and a gorgeous mystery man. Has Brenda found herself in the right place at the wrong time? Or is he the wrong man?

Set in Surfers Paradise, Australia, against a heady backdrop of meter maids in tiaras, gold lamé bikinis and heels, Brenda appears to have it all. She’s got the looks, the uniform, and even the standard-issue bag of coins for topping up expired meters.

What she doesn’t have is enough cash to cover the rent hike she’s just been landed with. Faced with sleeping on the beach or in her car, there isn't much Brenda won't do to land herself some decent accommodation.

Enter Stefano her knight in shining sports car. While he might be the meal ticket she's been looking for, Brenda can’t decide if he’s the right man for her, or the simply right enough for now?

Heels and a Tiara is a prequel novella to Andrene’s That Seventies Series and is a no-holds-barred look at the less than salubrious parts of the Gold Coast of Australia. If you like risqué British humour with a 70s Australian spin, then Heels and a Tiara is the read for you.
