Home on the Farm/Home Sweet Home/Return To Hope Creek

Mandy Magro lives in Cairns, Far North Queensland, with her husband, Des, their daughter, Chloe Rose, two adorable pooches, Sophie and Sherlock, and the largest personalities of the household, Charlie and Lola - the loveably sassy cockatiels, Star - the comical Indian Ringneck, and Jet, the hilariously chatty Hahns Macaw. With pristine aqua-blue coastline in one direction and sweeping rural landscapes in the other, she describes her home as heaven on earth. A passionate woman and a romantic at heart, Mandy loves writing about soul-deep love, the Australian way of life, and the wonderful characters that call the country home.

USA Today bestselling author Alyssa J. Montgomery lives with her husband and three children on a five-acre property nestled into a mountain range south of Sydney, Australia, and enjoys having the space for gardens, a dog, horses, goats and chickens. Visits from the native wildlife (echidnas, wallabies and a variety of native birds) are particularly welcome … although visits from native wildlife with scales and fangs aren’t met with quite as much enthusiasm!

She continues to work in her private practice as a Speech-Language Pathologist. Previously she’s done a stint with Qantas Airways as an international flight attendant, completed her Master of Science degree, and has also been a professional pianist.
