25.01.2022 Annette Young answers audience questions at the Maitland book launch event of By Violence Unavenged, 15 June 2019.
23.01.2022 Friday night's Maitland launch at Harry Hartog Bookseller Green Hills saw over thirty people enthralled by Annette's responses to Catherine McKay's questions and observations about By Violence Unavenged and A Distant Prospect, in a most congenial and attractive setting. Stay tuned for videos of Catherine's interview, then the audience questions in the second half. Store manager Josh and assistant manager Emily could not have been more helpful. A wonderful evening all around!
23.01.2022 "If you’re looking for an historical epic to replace your need to watch The Sound of Music on repeat, this might be your poison. Annette Young follows up her last historical book about childhood with a riveting tome about becoming an adult, marriage, and how hatred and grudges can hold a heart back from being able to love." - A.R.K. Watson, from Texas-based Catholic Reads https://catholicreads.com//by-violence-unavenged-by-annet/ #BVU #bookreview
23.01.2022 #SocialDistancing passes more quickly with a big, absorbing book to read, so Annette has scheduled a 99-cent offer for this week on the Kindle edition of A Distant Prospect. Grab it, or gift it, at amazon.com/author/annette #MaybeLeaveAReview

12.01.2022 Dominic Casanova has penned some kind words about A Distant Prospect: "I spent exactly four days reading the book in its entirety, and those four days have perhaps been some of the happiest days I have ever spent reading. If it is a hallmark of a great novel to make the reader laugh and weep with its characters, then this piece has certainly met and exceeded that criterion. The natural progression and development of each of the characters is done so well that they feel like r...eal people, and the events feel as though the author was really there and has just recounted things as they happened. The descriptions were simply phenomenal and the author appears to have a talent in this regards which, in my opinion, is simply unrivalled by many authors both past and present." https://dominicsblog.home.blog//music-and-books-two-of-my/ A Distant Prospect is available at booksellers everywhere, and Australians can also buy it from tinyurl.com/annetteyoung See more

07.01.2022 "If you're a political junkie like meself," said Senator Eric Abetz launching By Violence Unavenged on June 28 in Hobart, "protagonist Phoebe's father tells her at one stage - and I just love this one - 'Every fascist is a Communist in fancy dress.' And isn't that the truth!" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE4PkklGLts ) Little wonder that Annette Young thought better than to launch in Canberra this weekend, and will instead do so during the November/December sitting days of both chambers, in a Canberra enriched by the presence of Aussies from outside the bubble.
