RIVER SONG

I’m thrilled to introduce you to RIVER SONG, my 30th novel, publishing 8 October.
A story about friendship and what happens when dreams come true . . .

For four women living in the beautiful Fig Tree River, life is peaceful.
Then a lottery ticket, bought together on impulse, changes everything.
The winnings, shared between the four friends, are all they ever hoped for… and all they ever feared, bringing dreams, dilemmas, and disaster.

When their new lives start to fall apart, will the women have the strength to find the song inside their hearts once more?

Coming 8 October, RIVER SONG is available for pre-order: https://www.panmacmillan.com.au/9781760985592/

ABIA Hall of Fame

Di Morrissey was inducted into the ABIA Hall of Fame at a ceremony on 25 May in Sydney.

Morrissey was presented with the Lloyd O’Neil Award for service to the Australian book industry. Morrissey is the author of 24 novels and three children’s books, selling more than three million copies in her 25-year career.

Other authors who have received the Lloyd O’Neil award include Peter Carey, John Marsden, Margaret Fulton and Bryce Courtenay. Author Tom Keneally, who received the award in 1995, presented the award to Morrissey.

‘Di Morrissey, an old neighbour of mine, has not only distinguished herself through writing novels loved by hundreds of thousands of Australians but—let us not forget—made possible the publication of many books that may not have otherwise have appeared without her contribution to the Australian book industry,’ said Keneally.
