My Thoughts

Once again, we are in the coastal town of Bellbird Bay on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
I have read several books in the Bellbird Bay series and have enjoyed every one of them. It’s a charming tight knit community and I’ve met many of the characters.

They are warm and welcoming especially to outsiders which they welcome into the fray making them feel right at home.
I especially enjoyed seeing the comradery the characters have with each other. I know I would feel comfortable living here.

A beautiful mature romance that had both main characters that I loved.
I always enjoy this author’s books and know I’ll be happy when I read them, and she doesn’t disappoint. Another thing I like about the books is that there is no drama in them, just feel good, realistic situations. Highly recommended!

The Author

After a career in education, Maggie Christensen began writing contemporary women’s fiction portraying mature women facing life-changing situations, and historical fiction set in her native Scotland. Her travels inspire her writing, be it her trips to visit family in Scotland, in Oregon, USA or her home on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. Maggie writes of mature heroines coming to terms with changes in their lives and the heroes worthy of them. Maggie has been called the queen of mature age fiction and her writing has been described by one reviewer as like a nice warm cup of tea. It is warm, nourishing, comforting and embracing.

From the small town in Scotland where she grew up, Maggie was lured to Australia by the call to ‘Come and teach in the sun’. Once there, she worked as a primary school teacher, university lecturer and in educational management. Now living with her husband of over thirty years on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, she loves walking on the deserted beach in the early mornings and having coffee by the river on weekends. Her days are spent surrounded by books, either reading or writing them – her idea of heaven!
