Event description

Come celebrate with Zara Ellen (pseudonym of Joanne Morrell) in celebration of her emotionally charged, fast-paced, contemporary, women's fiction book. Launched by general fiction author Sasha Wasley.

About the book:

The Writer

With declining book sales and critics calling Agnes Robert’s romance writing rigid, a lot depends on her next book. Is the stale relationship with her potentially cheating absent husband Doug to blame? Can she climb back to the bestseller lists with the help of Marcus Oliver, a handsome debut author waiting in the wings?

The Hairdresser

Despite infertility impacting their lives, Donna’s marriage to Matthew Hayden is a fairy tale, one her tyrant boss Amanda and unbearable mother-in-law try to destroy often. But when pushed to her absolute limit, can Donna break free of all that holds her back and go into business for herself, setting up her own salon to save her spirit and her clients?

The Nurse

Kristy Johns is suffocating with five kids and an Emergency Department roster leaving her feeling frazzled. With no support from her children’s unemployed father Karl, and her troubled sister Nat, free from jail, and wanting back in their lives, can Kristy open her heart to second chances from those who need it most?

Fast-paced women’s fiction at its best

The Writer, The Hairdresser and The Nurse intertwines the struggles and dynamics of three women’s working, family and romantic relationships, focusing on friendship to help get them through.

Praise for Zara Ellen

‘A slippery ride through the drama of unravelling, into the relentless truth of friendship,’Zena Shapter, award-winning author of ‘Towards White’.

Compared to her emotionally charged, fast-paced, women’s fiction novels, Zara Ellen lives a quiet life, among the trees, with her loves. She can be found rugged up reading on her balcony or rolling across her laddered library, getting lost in story. Join Zara for this special free book launch which includes complimentary refreshments and book sales and signings.
