Hi, Everyone,

I'm excited that Just an Ordinary Family is now available to readers around the world! The Aussies and Kiwis have been enjoying this novel about friendship, love and betrayal, trust and regret, forgiveness and the complexities of modern relationships since March so I'm excited to share it to everyone else. Among many things, this novel delves into family, friendship, motherhood - the challenges of being a mother or trying to become a mother - and how to protect the innocence of children.

Goodread reviews say readers are both laughing and crying and missing the characters when the novel ends, which thrills me!

So what does the back cover say?

Liane Moriarty meets Jodi Picoult in this tensely negotiated story of family ties, betrayal and sacrifice.

Every family has its secrets...

Alice Hunter is smarting from the raw deal life has thrown her way: suddenly single, jobless and forced to move home to her parents' tiny seaside town. And now she faces an uncomfortable truth. She wants her twin sister Libby's enviable life.

Libby's closest friend Jess Dekic has been around the Hunter family for so long she might as well be blood. She's always considered herself a sister closer to Libby than Alice ever could be...

Libby Hunter has all of life's boxes ticked: prominent small-town doctor, gorgeous husband and two young daughters. But when she is betrayed by those she loves most, it reveals how tenuous her world is...

For Karen Hunter, her children are a double-edged sword of pain and pride. She's always tried to guide her girls through life's pitfalls, but how do you protect your children when they're adults?

As the family implodes, the fallout for these four women will be inescapable...

Bestselling Australian author Fiona Lowe wields a deft hand, creating utterly addictive storytelling that will have you questioning your own perceptions of what family is.

You can read Just an Ordinary Family in print, ebook or listen to it in audio. Rebecca Macauley does an amazing job narrating this and her delightful Australian accent will immerse you in the book.

If you love strong women trying to live their best lives, then Just an Ordinary Family is for you. To view a video of me chatting about the book, for photos that inspired the story, to read an excerpt and for all the buy links head over to my .

It's summer solstice and to celebrate, it's world-wide release day for A HOME LIKE OURS. Before now only the Aussies and Kiwis have been able to enjoy this women's fiction novel but now it doesn't matter where you live! You can enjoy it in print, eBook or on audio. How cool is that?

A HOME LIKE OURS is about four very different women facing four different life struggles. Under normal circumstances they would never be friends, in fact some would actively avoid the other, but when the community garden comes under threat they find themselves reluctantly working together.

This book explores racism, homelessness and other forms of displacement and it features strong women trying to live their best lives under difficult circumstances. It will make you laugh and cry and rage and fill you with joy. I promise no matter where I take you inside the pages, the book ends on a hopeful note. Read it at the beach, in a hammock, under the shade of a tree in the woods. It makes great summer reading!

You can buy it whereever you buy your books online or ask your local book shop to order in a print copy. Buy Links are For more information about it and to read the blurb head to my Happy Reading! Fiona xx
