THE CHATEAU ON SUNSET will be published in Australia on March 31, 2026, and in North America and the UK on June 2, 2026.

Yes, they are. The book is published in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and most translation markets as The French Photographer but it is published in the US as The Paris Orphan. If you re-purchased the book in error, please contact the book seller.

My reading-for-review time is quite limited but if you are a publisher or agent who would like me to read the manuscript of a forthcoming novel with a view to an endorsement quote, please pass on your requests via my agent, Kevan Lyon. Please note I don’t take direct requests from authors.

No, you don’t. They are all stand-alone titles. Occasionally, a character in one book may appear in another, which is fun for readers to spot. However, if you do want to read them in the order they were published, here’s the list (from oldest to most recently published): A Kiss from Mr Fitzgerald; Her Mother’s Secret; The Paris Seamstress; The French Photographer/The Paris Orphan (the same book but published under a different title in the US); The Paris Secret; The Riviera House; The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre; The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard; The Mademoiselle Alliance; and The Chateau on Sunset.

I’m very grateful to book clubs who select my novels for discussion. Occasionally, I am available to attend book club events, either virtually or in person, depending on my writing schedule. It makes for a more respectful exchange of my time to attend if the majority of book club members have purchased a copy of the book in either paperback, ebook or audiobook form, rather than sharing just one or two copies. You can also find book club guides on the relevant page for each book on this website.

Firstly, thank you for thinking of me! Secondly, I think it’s important for you to know that I relish the opportunity to speak at festivals, events and conferences and to teach workshops, but I take my participation very seriously and usually charge more than standard Australian Society of Authors speaking rates. Please get in touch via the Contact Form on my website.

For all rights enquires, including film and television, and translation, please contact my agent Kevan Lyon here.
