Have you tried any Australian writers??? I’m unsure whether they’re promoted elsewhere. Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction!? Tim Winton is a fabulous West Australian writer… And I love Helen Garner too.

@Sydney ok – well there are some wonderful Aussie writers who I’m sure you could locate on online sites. I do enjoy Helen Garner – I love her observations of characters and situations. I have just read a book titled Eggshell Skull – it is a confronting read inasmuch as it is about a young lawyer who in her 1st year is attached to a Judge who travels around Queensland – and most of his cases are to do with kids being interfered with. Tim Winton is a beautiful writer and very evocative in his use of language – and a local – there’s a start!!! Elizabeth Jolley is wonderful too. She died a few years ago but quite a quirky writer. Good luck and let me know how you go.
