My first ‘best of’ list on Shepherd

Have you heard of Shepherd.com?

It’s a platform where authors provide book recommendations for readers who like their work.

It’s a bit of a ‘If you like this book of mine, you might like these books’ approach, but there’s a twist. As writers, we need identity what element of our book readers enjoy, and recommend books that offer a similar experience. And we’re encouraged to have a bit of fun with it.

So, my first list is for readers of my last book, The Undercurrent and focuses on stories set in an ‘alternate’ Australia:

Here’s the link (or just click the image above).

Shepherd is 100% book recommendations. You can understand why that appeals to me as a I writer. 🙂

Thank you to Maree Kimberley for introducing me to Shepherd.com when she kindly recommended The Undercurrent in her ‘The best girl power young adult sci-fi/fantasy books‘ list.

About Me

I’m the author of the Rephaim series and The Undercurrent.

For my day job, I’m a writer-journalist-professional communicator, where my writing involves a lot less profanity.

I grew up in regional South Australia and now live in the Scenic Rim with my husband and a retired greyhound.

If you’re interested in how I came to land a publishing deal, you can read the short version in this post from August 2011. There’s a longer version (in a guest post) here.
