Sunday mornings relaxing with a book are a gift. Let’s gather for a cosy book conversation over coffee and talk identity, secrets, big decisions, love and tears. The experience of relaxing into a Rachael Johns novel is a sheer delight and you are in for a treat with The Lucky Sisters. Alli Parker’s Until the Red Leaves Fall is a historical saga of great beauty that asks what happens when we let history and the truth get in the way of a good story. Immersive page turning novels can be just what we need. Let’s celebrate loving what we love! Moderated by writer, Tabitha Carvan (This Is Not A Book About Benedict Cumberbatch).
Rachael Johns was once (briefly) an English teacher, before turning her attention to writing—and never looking back. She now writes award-winning romance and women’s fiction. Her novel The Patterson Girls won the 2016 ABIA for General Fiction, and she’s a two-time winner of the Romance Writers of Australia RUBY Award. Rachael is the co-host of two podcasts: Reading Between Deadlines and Dear Rach & Soph and runs the vibrant Rachael Johns Book Club on Facebook. She lives in the Swan Valley with her husband and two of her three sons.
Alli Parker is a Japanese-Australian author and screenwriter, with a background in script editing and script co-ordinating. Her debut novel, the bestselling At the Foot of the Cherry Tree, was based on the true story of Australia's first Japanese war bride, who was Alli's grandmother. It was shortlisted for the 2023 Dymocks Book of the Year and the 2024 ABIA Matt Richell Award for New Writers, and longlisted for the 2024 Indie Book Awards. Her credits as a script editor and co-ordinator include Irreverent, Jack Irish series 1, 2 & 3, Shantaram, Secret Bridesmaids' Business, Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries, Ride Like a Girl, Please Like Me and Utopia. Her latest novel is Until the Red Leaves Fall.
