2018 Australia Day Giveaway
Celebrated since the 1800s in Australia, Australia Day can mean different things to different people. It can be a celebration of the formation of a modern nation, the mourning of the loss of land and culture for many of the first peoples, an acknowledgement of the diversity and contribution of immigrants from around the world to our nation.
For many it’s an excuse for a barbie, a day at the beach and having a good time.
And here is one more thing to celebrate this Australia Day — a celebration of Christian writers through a fantastic giveaway of twelve books by Australian authors and/or set in Australia. Books I’ve read and enjoyed or that are on my to-read list. And one of them is mine.
The Books
Akrad’s Children by Australian author Jeanette O’Hagan – a YA epic fantasy with courtly intrigue, a touch of romance and imagination – set in the world of Nardva.

A New Resolution by Rose Dee – romantic suspense set in central to north Queensland
Too Pretty by Andrea Grigg – a Christian romance set in NSW
