Pelican Parade, in the small seaside town of Gidgee Harbour, has long been a place of wacky characters, gossip and innuendo. Businesses in themain street come and go, as do the people, and lately the friction has been building, with the behind-closed-doors development of Alistair's recently sold shop. Wilma and Norma, watching from the safety of their shops, are beside themselves as they watch bikies and other undesirables arriving.Only when the people of Pelican Parade see aggressive promotion of a new shopping centre proposal nearby, do they realise the strength in joining together in a fight to preserve the ambience of their street, and all it has to offer.This enjoyable meander through the dynamics of a street, which could be in your local town, will have you smiling and nodding all the way through.

Having taken separate journeys through difficult relationships, Frances and Bella find the courage to branch out into a new venture, and eventually new relationships. Frances sets up a business in house sitting in the Queensland, Australia, hinterland, which flourishes with Bella's pragmatic help and support. They become close friends in the process, supporting each other through many ups and downs. It is only when Frances must come to terms with a debilitating illness, that the true strength of their enduring friendship becoming apparent. Greta Harvey is a natural storyteller. - Chris Champion, Editor, Forty South Publishing
