Please note: This event has been rescheduled from 28 July 2026.
Come and meet Maya Linnell, one of Australia's most-loved rural romance authors, as she talks about her writing life and newest novel, Sunrise at Sunny Cross Farm.
A former country journalist and radio presenter, Maya grew up in a small country town and has never left country life behind. She writes about the world she lives and loves, from orphaned lambs and country show baking to the tight-knit communities at the heart of rural Australia.
Her eighth novel, Sunrise at Sunny Cross Farm, is set on a sunflower-filled property in South Australia, where a reality TV show, a cautious widower and a fiercely independent mum create the perfect recipe for small-town chaos and unexpected love.
It's a warm, witty and big-hearted story about family, second chances and finding the courage to trust again, told with lashings of country charm and heart.
Don't miss this chance to hear from one of Australia's most-loved rural romance voices – and maybe grab a signed copy while you're at it!
