AUTHOR and mummy blogger, Peta-Jo, is launching her second book this year.
The award-winning Queensland writer released her debut novel, Feral Bells, in 2012.
The romantic-comedy won a scholarship before being picked up by Four Ingredients’ co-author Rachael Bermingham and her Sunshine Coast-based distribution company.
Feral Bells is a “laugh out loud” funny story of a young north Queensland woman trying to make it big in Brisbane. It explores the funny – and sometimes painful – ties that bind us.
Proceeds from book sales will help women who have suffered miscarriage.
For more information, phone Peta-Jo on 0400 255 116.
Feral Bells can be distributed to bookstores around Australia. Be sure to ask your local book store to order it in. Please contact Bermingham Books if you’d like to stock copies.
If you’d like to review the book, arrange reader giveaways or have Peta-Jo do an in-store appearance, please email petajo@mail.com
