For all you lovely readers in Germany I finally I have news on the publication of Redemption. The publishers are planning to release it in April 2018. It will follow the re-issue of the first two books which will come out in the months before. It has been a long wait for you all and I’m sorry for that I can only be grateful to those who have been so patient.. xx Lara
It’s been years in the making but on November 5, Redemption, the third and final book in my fantasy series, The Twins of Saranthium, was published. I’ve had two children between the second and third books so a big gap of time isn’t underselling it and I am so grateful to anyone who has stuck around long enough to care and want to read it!
So here’s a big glass of champers to those still asking for that book and I hope I have given you the ending Shaan and Tallis deserved.

Here in Australia, 2016 Book Week is in full frenzy and I’m heading to a local school to do some presentations which had me thinking about my favourite books when I was a child.
I was one of those kids who read by torchlight when I was supposed to be sleeping, anyone else? Scary stories, mysteries, fantasy and those fantastic choose-your-own-adventure books, remember those??
I also read a set of books by an author few may remember now, Arthur Ransome. He wrote a series called Swallows and Amazons and the kids in it went on boat rides alone, ate awful sounding tongue sandwiches (honestly what was with the tinned tongue in the 1930s??) and solved mysteries.
By today’s standards the books may seem very old fashioned but I still think the most popular books, the books kids love, are still at heart very much the same. They’re about children stepping out into scary worlds on their own, being resourceful, having adventures, facing danger and surviving. The settings may have changed but what we all yearn for is constant; a chance to show you’re more than people think, to find your inner strength, to shine, to be part of something magic, something bigger, to take some power back in a world where children are told they have very little agency, that they must ‘do as they’re told’. That’s the magic of those stories, whether it be Swallows and Amazons or Harry Potter, the story makes us feel part of something special and I love that despite the change in our society, the generation gap, we still have a bridge that connects us all.
It’s been a long time coming but finally, Redemption, the third and final book in my Twins of Saranthium series will be coming out in ebook on November 5. I don’t have a cover yet but it should be here soon! It’s been years in the making but at last it is done. I hope people are happy with how Shaan and Tallis’s tale ends.

Since having children getting to any festival has been a massive challenge but this year I’m starting to come back. Cue excitement!
Thanks to the fabulous folk at my local library in Geraldton I will be appearing at the Big Sky writers and readers festival this May. It’s been a long while between festival coffees for me but I couldn’t be looking forward to it more.
More details about what I’ll be doing will be coming when I have them. In the meantime, check out the website….HERE
