Well, we're different, we lead such different lives. I'm not sure how we'll go now without Annie. She was like Carrie, you know, in Sex and the City. Annie was our Carrie." Without Annie, friends Catherine, Lexie and Rachel are lost. What will things be like now? How will they fill the void? Will their friendship survive? These questions are soon overshadowed by the complexities of their own lives. Catherine is excelling in her high-flying career but struggling in her relationships, especially with her unfathomable teenage daughter. Lexie is juggling the demands of her young family and the ego of her hardworking husband, while taking the first steps to achieving her own dreams. And finally Rachel, the one who can?t seem to settle down, is experiencing the heady euphoria of a new relationship. But when the truth comes out about who she has fallen in love with, fragile friendships will be put to the test all over again...

False Advertising

By: Dianne Blacklock

Helen always tries to be a good person. She recycles, obeys the water restrictions - she is even polite to telemarketers. As a mother, wife, daughter and nurse, Helen is used to putting everyone's needs before her own. But it only takes one momentary lapse of concentration to shatter her life forever.There was no such momentary lapse for Gemma. Her customary recklessness leaves her pregnant, alone and estranged from her family, with her once-promising advertising career in tatters. So when Gemma barges unceremoniously into Helen's life, things will never be the same again for either of them. Two very different women who have one thing in common - their lives have fallen short of their expectations. But is fate offering them a second chance?

The Right Time

By: Dianne Blacklock

The Beckett sisters need to shake things up. Emma has been planning her dream wedding even since she was a little girl, and she's determined to get her happy ending. Just as soon as her boyfriend Blake gets around to proposing ... Liz is a well respected and successful doctor and supposedly the brains of the family, yet she still believes her married colleague will leave his wife for her, one day ... Evie is cheerfully married to Craig, but after three children, things have stagnated. When Craig suggests a way to spice up their relationship, Evie is horrified - but she always tries so desperately to please ... And Ellen, the eldest sister and the anchor of the family, is dealing with the end of her marriage and getting back into the dating game. But she wonders if she'll ever be able to get naked in front of another man, let alone open her heart to love again. When their parents drop a bombshell that affects them all, and one sister must make a life-changing decision, it's the right time for the Beckett sisters to band together and face the challenges head-on.

The Right Time

By: Dianne Blacklock

The Beckett sisters - Ellen, Emma, Elizabeth and Evie - all need to shake things up. Emma has been planning her dream wedding even since she was a little girl, and as soon as her boyfriend Blake finally proposes, she presumes that it can only be smooth sailing from then on. Liz is a well respected and successful doctor and she expects her affair with a married colleague to turn into something more serious as soon as her partner can leave his wife. But that does seem to be taking a long time... Evie and Craig are married with three children, but have lost their way. When Craig suggests a way to spice up their relationship, Evie is horrified - must she go through with Craig's plans in order to save her marriage? And Ellen, the eldest sister and the anchor of the family, is dealing with a marriage breakdown and getting back into the dating game. But she wonders if she'll ever be able to let go and open her heart to love again. There's never a perfect time for life-changing decisions - just the right time.

Call Waiting

By: Dianne Blacklock

Ally Tasker is in a dead-end teaching job and a dead-end relationship. Her dreams of an exotic life after art college did not consist of cleaning up after school children and fitting in with her dull real estate agent boyfriend. She wishes she was more like her friend Meg–at least she has turned her art training into a lucrative job in computer design, not to mention having a gorgeous husband and son. But then Ally's grandfather dies and she returns to the Southern Tablelands where she must confront issues from her past that her numb but safe life in Sydney has cushioned her from. Meanwhile Meg is not as happy as Ally has presumed. The life of a married mother with a career is not giving Meg the satisfaction she expected. Sometimes you have to risk all you have to realise what is worth saving. Special promotional price of A$20.00 (inc GST)

Wife for Hire

By: Dianne Blacklock

Sam knew she was a model wife, a prize wife, the kind of wife men secretly wished they had. But now Jeff wanted to leave her for someone else. When she was a little girl, all Samantha Driscoll ever wanted was to be somebody's wife. She would marry a man called Tod or Brad and she would have two blond children, one boy, one girl. But instead she married a Jeff, had three children, and he's just confessed to having an affair. Sam's life purpose crumbles before her eyes. How could this have happened to her? Spurred on by an eclectic bunch of girlfriends and her nutty sister Max, she finds the job she was born for: Wife for Hire. Sam handles the domestic affairs, and acts as personal shopper and social coordinator, for many satisfied customers. However when Hal Buchanan is added to her client list, but claims not to need her, Sam realises that while she can organise many things in life, she is not so businesslike when her emotions are involved.

Jack and Kate

By: Dianne Blacklock

It's 1980, and Kathryn Rowland is young and ambitious. She has precise plans drawn out for her future and no one -- not demanding parents, nor romantic entanglements -- is going to get in her way. But then she meets Jack Gallagher. As one of the top fashion photographers in the country Jack knows all about ambition, but he's become bored with the picture-perfect women who surround him and he finds himself enchanted by independent Kate. So how did they end up, almost a decade later, estranged, still nursing long held pain and regret? How did Jack find her, and what does he want with her son? As family secrets are revealed, and lies -- so many lies -- unravel, a tragedy brings them once again into each other's orbit.
