Karly Lane lives on the beautiful mid-North Coast of New South Wales, and she is the proud mum of four children and an assortment of four-legged animals. Before becoming an author, Karly worked as a pathology collector. Now, after surviving three teenage children and with one more to go, she's confident she can add referee, hostage negotiator, law enforcer, peacekeeper, ruiner-of-social-lives, driving instructor and expert-at-silently-counting-to-ten to her resume. When she isn't at her keyboard, Karly can be found hanging out with her beloved horses and dogs, happily ignoring the housework. Karly writes Rural and Women's Fiction set in small country towns, blending contemporary stories with historical heritage. She is a passionate advocate for rural Australia, with a focus on rural communities and current issues. She has published twenty-six books with Allen & Unwin. Her bestselling novels include North Star, Morgan's Law, Bridie's Choice, Poppy's Dilemma, Gemma's Bluff, Tallowood Bound, Second Chance Town, Third Time Lucky, If Wishes Were Horses, Six Ways to Sunday, Someone Like You, Fool Me Once, Something Like This, Take Me Home, Once Burnt Twice Shy, A Stone's Throw Away, Wish You Were Here, Time After Time, For Once in My Life, The One That Got Away, Twist of Fate, Needle in a Haystack, Rumour Has It and the bestselling Callahans of Stringybark Creek series: The Wrong Callahan, Mr Right Now and Return to Stringybark Creek.
