22.01.2022 Sarah here - As I am officially looking after Anna’s social media, (while she's busy writing another sensational story) and I know how much you all love bookmarks.

16.01.2022 If you loved Thornwood House and could imagine yourself in the setting, Anna has a way with words (so I've heard ) that makes you feel like you're there. Have a look at these beautiful photos taken by a friend Alison Ilic around the area south of Boonah, where Thornwood was set, (the town in the story is called Magpie Creek). ~ Sarah

14.01.2022 Sarah here - Have I mentioned how excited I am that 'Under the Midnight Sky' has been longlisted for the Sisters in Crime Davitt Awards. If I'm excited, just imagine how Anna must be feeling!
13.01.2022 Great Reads and Tea Leaves do amazing book reviews with gorgeous pics and over the years they have posted the following about Anna's books. - Sarah Beyond the Orchard is yet another atmospheric tale of past tragedies, betrayal, love and of secrets. This is a historical mystery with a touch of romance of the very highest calibre. This is Anna Romer’s third book and I am happy to say that the high standard she set from the very beginning of her literary career has continued. What an amazing author she is proving to be, with this instalment cementing her in the upper echelon of Australian writers.

09.01.2022 For many years now I've been following a wonderful bookish page that posts the most beautiful images. As it’s Birthday month for someone very special to me...

08.01.2022 I read Boy Swallows Universe earlier this year and today I finished listening to All our Shimmering Skies and I thought it was AMAZING!!!!!!! - Sarah
08.01.2022 When Thornwood House was first released back in 2013, there were many great reviews. Anna and I had a real laugh when we read the following. Do not open this book until you have 1:hired a babysitter for the duration 2:cooked and frozen enough meals for everyone 3:taken the phone off the hook.... I can assure you any interruption will be very frustrating. You will not want to put it down. And this one: The kids probably won’t be fed tonight!!!

You’ll have the chance to win this beautiful book tomorrow - so keep a look out
