If you are an avid romance reader or want to learn about what goes into writing a best-seller, put this date in your calendar.
Sunshine Coast Libraries invites you to join leading author Rachael Johns and local writer Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane for a deep-dive into all things love, romance and writing on Friday 16 February, at Venue 114.

Rachael Johns is the best-selling, ABIA-winning author of The Patterson Girls and a number of other romance and women’s fiction books, including the popular Something to Talk About.
She is currently Australia’s leading writer of contemporary relationship stories around women’s issues, a genre she has coined ‘life-lit’.
The Patterson Girls won the 2016 Romance Writers of Australia RUBY Award and the 2015 Australian Book Industry Award for General Fiction.
She continually places in Booktopia’s Top 50 Aussie Authors poll.
Rachael has a new book called The Other Bridget, which she will discuss at the upcoming Sunshine Coast event.
The Other Bridget is a feelgood romantic comedy and ideal for fans of Emily Henry and Marian Keyes. Named after a famous fictional character, librarian Bridget Jones was raised on a remote cattle station, with only her mother’s romance novels for company. Now living alone in Fremantle, Bridget is a hopeless romantic. If only her love life was that easy.
Written by Australia’s most beloved romance writer, The Other Bridget is a delightfully uplifting book about books, and a gorgeous celebration of the power and pleasure of romance novels throughout the ages.
Sunshine Coast local, Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane is a published author at Ignite & Write: The Mindful Author and works as presenter at The Phoenix Phenomenon and ghost-writer.
