I am thrilled to bits to present to you the cover and blurb for my upcoming release The Grazier’s Son. Isn’t it a stunner?

When taking up an unexpected inheritance with an unhappy past, newcomer Stirling is daunted to find a town set against him. Except, perhaps, for one sassy, big-hearted woman, who is willing to give him a chance to prove he belongs. Pitch-perfect rural romance from popular Australian author Cathryn Hein.

When helicopter pilot Stirling Hawley travels to Grassmoor in Victoria’s lush western districts to claim an inheritance, he doesn’t expect to face a town that hates him.

Nor does he anticipate being saved from near-death by glamorous vintage clothing designer Darcy Sloane. Or that she’ll take a personal interest in his recovery. But Grassmoor and Westwind, the historic mansion Stirling inherited from the father he never knew, prove full of surprises.

The more Stirling digs into his father’s life, the more uneasy he becomes. Behind Dougal Kildare’s respectable stock agent and farmer veneer was a man of secrets. While the fraud that devastated the community and led to Dougal’s tragic suicide is one, there are others. And such things never stay buried forever…

As Stirling’s suspicions about Dougal’s death grow, danger creeps ever closer. Until it’s not only Stirling’s life in peril but the woman he’s come to love.

I can’t tell you how chuffed I am with this cover. I love how ruggedly handsome the Stirling model is and I adore the background with it’s lovely image of hills and mansion. It’s just perfect.

What is also perfect is that The Grazier’s Son is not only releasing in ebook and paperback, there’ll be an audio version too. Rah!

Pre-orders are hugely important for authors. They get the bookstore algorithms excited and make the book more visible to other readers. Not only that, they show the publisher how much people want to read the book, which then encourages them (and me) to produce more, leading to more books for you. Win-win!
