There's been some big news coming out of SARA in recent weeks. Grab a beverage, nab a chocolate biscuit, take a seat and enjoy!

First cab off the literary rank is Amy T Matthews' impending Wakefield Press release, END OF THE NIGHT GIRL. This is the manuscript that saw Amy taking out the Adelaide Festival Awards for Literature Unpublished Manuscript Award last year . Check out that awesome cover. Big congrats Amy, and all the best with the upcoming launch!

Two novels teasingly combine in one as End of the Night Girl explores the shadow cast by the Holocaust across centuries, continents, and cultures. Molly’s story, set in Adelaide and told in the first person, is a sassy modern drama of a young woman’s search for purpose amid confused family, sexual and social relationships. Under Molly’s pen emerges, jigsaw-like, the third-person Holocaust story of Gienia, a murdered young Polish Jewish woman who may or may not be fictional. Winner 2010 Adelaide Festival Award for Best Unpublished Manuscript.

Amy will also guest spot on the 7:30 Report soon about her novel. Stay tuned!

Cover love continues as we take a look at Lillian Grant's upcoming release from Siren Bookstrand, SPEAK TO ME OF ABDUCTION, due out in June.

Congrats, Lillian! Here's a blurb:

After accepting a movie role, Charlene Page, worries she might be the next rising porn star. On reflection, that might have been safer.

Stuck in Rio and desperate for cash, Australian backpacker Charlene accepts a minor movie role. When her co-star, Holly wood hunk and serial womanizer, Jonathon Deveraux is abducted from the set she turns to his older brother for help.

Oscar winner and Hollywood good guy Jacob Deveraux is a recluse. However, when his brother goes missing, he agrees to help the hapless backpacker who appears to have been deceived into taking a movie role so that Jonathon could woo her into his bed. The more determined he is to keep his distance the more he is drawn to her. When it becomes obvious his bother’s kidnapping is designed to punish Jacob he worries Charlene may be next. Despite his best efforts to keep her safe she is grabbed off the street. Can he find and save his brother and Charlene or will he lose another woman he loves?
