My good friend Fleur McDonald, from Esperance way – yay, another WA writer, is soon to have her book Red Dust out on the shelves.

It’s all very exciting to see another rural style book out there and this is Fleur’s first book and I myself can’t wait to read it. So for those of you interested this has just come through from Allen and Unwin’s eNewsletter.

Here’s a chance to read Red Dust before it’s published. All you have to do is sign up for the Allen and Unwin’s eNewsletter and follow the instructions below.

If you’d like to be the first to read and review a fantastic outback novel from a fabulous new author before it is published, then send an email to with ‘Red Dust review’ in the subject and tell us why you want to read and review Red Dust by Fleur McDonald (due for publication in May).
