No Looking Back: Bindarra Creek: A Town Reborn
Hannah McKenna loves working with horses and is trying hard to keep it altogether after her first horse deal turns sour. She runs into trouble when she meets Blake Hudson – the man who put together the failed deal – who rescues her when she takes a nasty tumble from a horse. She likes him, simple as, and finds plenty of reasons to make him want to stay.
Blake Hudson feels like an imposter because he knows loved ones would walk if they knew the truth. He’s the dealmaker, the perfect go-between who puts together horse syndications and once the deal is done he moves on. His life takes a turn when he meets Hannah, the woman at the centre of his worst deal. Problem is he can’t keep away, but fears she will walk if she knew the truth about his past.
He hadn’t bargained on dealing with a mischievous third party called attraction.
When she discovers the truth, both realise they could lose everything, including each other.

1. If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?
I would tell myself to be patient with myself. It's so easy to get caught up in that rush and excitement of starting to write a book, but as the story progresses and you hit the dip in the middle of it, that early excitement disappears and it's easy to walk away. That’s when it’s best to take a break, have a long walk and brainstorm, then sit down and write your story.
2. How did publishing your first book change your process of writing?
I became more organised and started to plot and plan a little more effectively. I started to think more deeply about themes and how to connect them throughout the story.
3. What was the best money you ever spent as a writer?
After I wrote my first book (never published) I sent it to a story structure editor and her critique was wonderful. She opened my eyes as to how better to construct a story. Her input was invaluable.
4. What authors did you dislike at first but grew into?
I would have to say Stephen King. I read his book 'On Writing' and thought I'd read one of his books - again. His genre is not one I'd naturally go to, but he's one I now enjoy.
Harlan Coben – it took me a while to get used to his style of writing.
