Heavenly Escape – A Luxurious Devonshire Tea

Journey from island hideaways to Hollywood chateaus with bestselling authors Cathy Kelly and Natasha Lester, in conversation with Dr Janet Lee, while enjoying a delectable Devonshire Tea in one of Maleny's iconic venues overlooking the Glass House Mountains.

Cathy Kelly is a bestselling Irish author known for her stories about real women’s lives – the messy relationships, the love, the loss and everything in between. She has written twenty-two novels, selling millions of copies globally. In addition to her writing, she is a UNICEF ambassador and lives and writes from her home in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, surrounded by her family, two dogs and a cat. 

Natasha Lester made the move from marketing manager for Maybelline cosmetics to writing novels, and she regrets nothing – except that she no longer gets free lipstick. She is now a New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of nine books that have been translated into 21 languages and published all around the world. Her eighth novel, The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard, was longlisted for the 2024 ARA Historical Novel Prize. While she loves to travel, she also loves returning to her home in Perth.

Janet Lee has a Doctor of Creative Arts from the University of the Sunshine Coast.  She is a failed foster dog parent… she kept the dog… twice. Her manuscript for The Killing of Louisa won the Emerging Queensland Writer category in the 2017 Queensland Literary Awards and was then published by University of Queensland Press.
