Cate's Reads

Want to know what authors read?

I usually like to read books based on the same genre as I am writing at the time, though it depends on what I am doing and whether I have the time to read. These are some of the books I have read recently which I highly recommend. Though I love other Aussie authors like Jane Harper, Chris Hammer, I am trying to also support other indie authors.

A true romantic, Phillipa N Clarke has the knack of bringing life to her stories as you immerse yourself with each character and scene. Her series on Liz Moorland keep you intrigued as she weaves solving crimes in each of her novels and her latest cozy books are also on my to read list.

One of my favourite authors is Chris Hammer. Another Australian writer, his books keep you reading from beginning to end. I have read so many of his books yet realised there are so many more to read. I was also lucky enough to meet Chris at an author's talk a couple of years ago. I have followed his amazingly successful journey, including films. Chris is an author I aspire to be like one day!

Pamela Cook was a great mentor to me when I first started writing, after attending her writing course. Cross my heart tells a warm story of what really matters in life.

Jane Harper is another favourite of mine. I am currently reading her latest book Last One Out so will let you know what I think in my review.
