And the book:
Suzy's follow up to 2015's
begins with forty-ish, single mother Sarah relocating from Melbourne to idyllic Gough's Bay at Lake Eildon with her two young teenage sons.
The family discover the delights of country living in their new home Sarah is renovating by the lake.
She forms strong friendships with neighbours and locals who unhesitatingly help each other out in a typical country way.
Sarah quickly grows to love her way of life, with no regrets leaving behind the relative anonymity and isolation of suburbia.
Renovations bring Sarah romance, which develops more slowly than in her previous trysts, and ultimately becomes deeper and more satisfying.
Surprising plot twists test Sarah's relationship with her hunky, adorable electrician Jamie, making this novel an exciting and rewarding read.

| Suzy J Brown making her debut at Mentone Public Library - Saturday, 24 June 2017 |
We were very fortunate to have Suzy grace our library in 2017, where a candid confession and conversation about Suzy's trials and tribulations revealed a woman and writer who's spirit remained unshakably strong and vibrant despite of, or perhaps in spite of, the difficult curves and speed-bumps life had thrown in her path in recent years.
SIDE NOTE: Suzy's first book, "On the Road to the Best Orgasm Ever" also made multiple cameos at our recent "Miss Marple" murder mystery
...but more about that in the next blog!

Suzy's Bio Brief
Suzy J. Brown is a pseudonym, based on ‘Suzy’ being the name and spelling she used as a teenager when she was at her most confident, J. being her middle initial and Brown being a family name somewhere along the tree. Put it all together, and it fits as a novelist’s name.
Suzy J Brown lives in Melbourne Australia and still lives in the street where she was born (and where her sons were born), which frustrates her to no end, but somehow, she keeps returning. She graduated from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Arts (Media Studies) in 1994 and went on to work for the Age Newspaper in their classified advertising department, specializing in real estate. She managed the advertising department of two leading Melbourne real estate agents before going out on her own as a freelance real estate copywriter in 1998. In 2009/2010, she completed 2 years of her Masters in Writing at Swinburne University before pursuing writing her novel ‘On the Road to the Best Orgasm Ever.’ In late 2016, she will also have the sequel available ‘Calmer Suits Her.’
Brown flirts with the idea of being an inspiration to women, especially feisty single mums yearning to branch out from the stigma and create a new successful life.
