Dear Sandi, thanks for your lovely words and support. So valued. I love the giveaway pack myself. I wouldn’t want to give something to my readers that I wouldn’t cherish myself. Take care and best wishes for the giveaway. xx
What a wonderful and exciting giveaway Josephine!!! Poet’s Cottage was such a good story that I can’t wait to read Currawong Manor. The cover is beautiful yet again. It just makes you want to pick it up. I’m sure it is going to be a big success!

Dear Isabelle, so delighted to see you enter. I’m crossing my fingers my books eventually make it to the UK, but you’re going into the hat twice and so wishing you luck. Your support and genuine enthusiasm for my books over the years have meant so much to me. And I totally agree about the covers. Pan Macmillan Australia have really given me dream covers and I’m forever grateful. Take Care dear Isabelle and I must sit and write a proper letter to you soon. xx
Thank you for such a great giveaway opportunity! I’m just on uni holidays after grueling year and would love to unwind by reading your books. Facebook liker and will sign up for your website newsletter xx
Hi Katharine, I’m putting you into the hat twice and will keep my fingers crossed for you. Thanks so much for your support and I hope you enjoy your holidays. xx
What a lovely offer; I hope I’m lucky 😀 I’ll share your FB info with other reading friends. Cheers….R 🙂
Hello Rose, thanks so much for playing. I hope you’re lucky as well and thank you for sharing the Currawong Manor love. I’m putting you into the hat twice. Take Care and keep reading. xx
You know I will, sweet woman. Loved all your SinC short stories so the novels can only be even better 🙂
Oh thank you Rose for the kind words on my short stories for Sisters In Crime. That means a lot. I’ve always enjoyed the short story form and now that I’m a judge I miss the challenge of composing those pieces. Your Sister in Crime, J xx
Love your books Josephine, have read them all. I can’t wait to get “Currawong Manor”. Well done and congratulations from the little town of Oatlands.
Hello Dear Jill, GIVE MY LOVE TO OATLANDS!! It must be getting cold down there now. I’m always homesick. Thanks so much for entering and I’m putting you into the hat twice. Thanks also for reading all my books as well. I’m so delighted to hear from an Oatlands lass! Take Care and blow a kiss from me down High Street. You know you do live in the most beautiful town in Australia? Big love. xx
What a lovely idea. Have used word of mouth to spread the news of Currawong Manor – 14 purchases so far. Loved reading Currawong Manor, was very sad to turn the last page. Whens that next one due?
Lisa xx
Dear Lisa, you are beyond awesome! If I ever make a lot of money, would you like to come and work for me as my marketing assistant? Thank you so much for those 14 purchases from your word of mouth. I’m so delighted you enjoyed Currawong as I know how much you loved reading Poet’s Cottage with the Tasmanian setting. However, the one I’m currently working on is SET IN TASMANIA again! And guess what – it’s coming together very fast and I love it to bits and hopefully it will get picked up so watch this space. Big hug and fist-pump to you and thank you so much for not only enjoying my work, but spreading the word for me as much as you do. Your support elevates me and means the world. Keep sending the good vibes out there. Take care and I’m always so over the moon to hear somebody say they felt sad to turn the last page. That’s exactly the way a good tale should end. You’ve made my Friday evening. xx
Forgot to add that you’re in the hat twice of course. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. xx
How generous are you….I love the lipstick! I am so proud to share the same name (my maiden of course) and had the privilege of knowing both your Mother and your dear Father… I would treasure the signed copies and pass my bought ones to other friends…. much love…xxx
Dear Stephanie, it’s a beautiful lipstick and stays on well and is a fabulous true blue red. It does suit a lot of different complexions (maybe I should work for MAC!) Thank you for the kind words about Mum and Dad. You are going into my hat for double chances and all blessings and love. Thanks for all the support over the years. Very appreciated. xx
After reading Poet’s Cottage with my Bookclub, I can’t wait to read Currawong Manor. Shared on Facebook. Tassie girl here too (Wynyard). The next book sounds awesome too!
Hi Karyn, So good to hear from a North-Western Tasmanian reader! Are you with the Time Out bookclub who did the tour of Stanley when they were reading the book? I’ve just managed to find time to add the photos Nicole took for me to my Poet’s Cottage section. I’m so behind with all of that material on my website! Thanks so much for reading Poet’s Cottage with your bookclub and I hope you also enjoy Currawong Manor. I’m returning to Tasmania with the book I’m working on at the moment you may be interested to hear. I’m putting you into my hat twice for double chances and wishing you good luck and happy reading. Lovely to connect with you. xx
Hurray Josephine! A huge congratulations. Of course I’d adore to win this divine Currawong Manor pack. By the way, I love the new cover. Enjoy the excitement of a beautiful new book being launched. 🙂 xxx
Dear Belinda, so great to see you here and thanks so much for the good wishes. I’m so smitten with the cover and have been really fortunate to have had Nada Backovic design both covers as she’s so talented. I’m popping you into my hat twice and good luck! Happy writing and I hope you get some work done over the weekend. xx
Congratulations, Josephine!
I am sure Currawong Manor will replicate (If not surpass) the success of Poets Cottage. I’ve added Currawong Manor to our book clubs reading list and I am much anticipating devouring the pages.
Just an observation – that M.A.C lipstick looks a similar shade to the one used on the Poets Cottage cover, was that intentional?
Hello Jessica, thank you so much for your good wishes and for adding Currawong Manor to your book clubs reading list. Your support is so very valued. I only recently added some book club questions for Poet’s Cottage to the Poet’s Cottage section of this site. You’ve reminded me to work on some book club questions for Currawong Manor. It wasn’t intentional with the Poet’s Cottage cover, but I did realise when I saw the giveaway how it all matched so beautifully. I will say that my book club thought it might have been me on the cover of Poet’s Cottage with the similar lipstick! You are in my Magic Hat for a double chance and I wish you good fortune. Thanks again for the support and I hope you enjoy my world of Currawong Manor. xx
You are such a beautiful talent and like you I love red lippie. xx
Oh thank you Belinda you gorgeous woman. I know that red lipstick would look divine on you. You’re going into the magic hat for a double chance. Good luck! Give my love to Hobart and I hope the family is well. Thanks for playing and supporting my books. xx
I love the cover, and I’m sure what lies between the covers is beautiful. Looking forward to reading it. Congratulations! xo
Hello dear Lynn, I’m so smitten with my covers as well. Nada Backovic and Pan Macmillan Australia have really given me my dream covers with these books. Thanks so much for your good wishes and for entering. You’re in my Magic Hat and good luck! xx

Dear Jessica, thanks so much for sharing the Currawong Manor love. You’re in my magic hat for a double chance. Good luck and thank you for your support! I shall draw a winner at the end of June and shall contact you if you’re the one. Warmest Wishes, Josephine xx
Hi Josephine, congratulations on your new book! Love this giveaway and your work and will do what I can to spread the fab word that your new book is out plus read it with great pleasure xo
