Alexa Star

 

A STAR AND MOON COLLIDE.

Her name and magic are synonymous with legends. Why? Because Alexa Star was the galaxy’s hero.

When the prince asks her to come to the palace, she doesn’t know what to expect. He’s been her best friend for twenty years and is next in line for the throne. So, there’s nothing he could say that would scare her. Right? Wrong.

He admits that he is petrified of his crown and urges her to become his regent. Since helping people is what she does, she has a hard time telling him no.

All he ever coveted was her, and now he’s getting her. To rule beside him, then perhaps, to call his own. Things are finally falling into place for Eugene.

That is until his father finds out about Alexa’s new role. The image of her sitting in a position of power has him seeing red.

Can the hearts of two best friends withstand the fear, love and shadows of a looming crown?

UNTIL THE STARS CLAIM US……IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

About the Author

 

AUTUMN FOX lives in Australia with her husband, who actively feeds her ever-growing TBR. Which is ironic, because as a kid, you couldn’t have paid her to read. Pick up a book? No, thank you.

She’s an avid fantasy and romantasy reader, dabbling in rom coms at the moment. Mushrooms (fake ones), fairy-sized homes and some dust adorn her bookshelves. I know it’s gross. I’ll tell her.

Wear your wings with pride, read what you want without judgement, and live vicariously through your imagination. Autumn says it’s okay.

But all is not as tranquil as it seems.

When dangerous secrets begin to surface, Elspeth, an intelligent and wilful highborn, knows they must be stopped at all costs or the kingdom she loves will be lost once again.

About the Author

After a break of 15 years, LB’s passion for writing remained. She revived her original stories, finding that her life experiences enabled her to add more nuance to her characters and more intricate layers to the original plotlines.

Recovery is LB’s first completed novel from the Succession Series.

The Foundling

A tale of the Burra Burra Mine

With Fortune’s Fool: The road beyond Eureka

Re-published as a single volume, The Foundling and Fortune’s Fool paint an authentic picture of South Australia and Victoria in the formative years of European settlement, and describe a young woman’s compelling journey of self-discovery from the social injustices of the Burra Burra to the challenges of Ballaarat and beyond.

THE FOUNDLING. Abandoned as a baby, taunted as a child, Julia Stephen – the Foundling of the title – learns to survive in the West Country of England until her adoptive Methodist family sets sail for South Australia in the earliest years of European settlement, in search of a better life.

Necessity takes them north, to work for the South Australian Mining Association of the Burra Burra, whose regime rates the workforce far below the appeal of profi ts. When Julia settles in the Company township called Kooringa, her past returns to haunt her.

Who is the mysterious packman from Julia’s Devon childhood who follows her through the streets of Kooringa township? What is the grim secret she uncovers in the dank squalor of a dugout in the Burra Burra Creek?

FORTUNE’S FOOL. Ballaarat in the goldrush of the early 1850s. A place of glittering promise and deep despair; where hidden resentments will swell into open rebellion against the colonial government in December 1854.

Into this male-dominated sex-starved shantytown comes Miss Julia Stephen, seeking her Cornish lover. Quick-witted, resourceful – and unscrupulous – she becomes one of the most successful women on the Victorian diggings. When tensions erupt into bloody rebellion at Eureka, Julia Stephen’s life is transformed beyond her wildest dreams.

Citrus Hues

 

Can fate preclude destiny?

The girls listened tentatively as Maatla told them about the tangelo, the clementine and his favourite, the honeybell, which is a mix of a sweet tangerine flavour and the sour flavour of the tart grapefruit.

“The honeybell is like life,” he said, “a mix of sweet and sour. We can feel hope and love, yet sometimes we experience hate and despair.”

Rows of citrus trees laden with colourful fruit create the perfect playground for Janco and Naledi, two young children who are inseparable friends. But Piet, Janco’s father and the owner of the South African estate, does not want his son mingling with the farm workers’ children. Piet’s upbringing and deeply ingrained prejudice lead him to make it clear that a lion and a zebra do not drink from the same waterhole.

But over the years, the children’s friendship blossoms into forbidden love. Janco explains to Naledi that every snowflake is unique and destined to fall where it is meant to: they are meant to be together. Then a series of events changes everything. Naledi ends up far away in Australia, a land filled with opportunities and new connections. She refuses to let her past shackle her and is determined to live her life to the fullest. Along the way, she learns that sometimes decisions are taken away from you, but you need to keep moving forward in life to discover what can be. And the choices you make and the chances you take will lead you in the direction in which you need to go.
