Black Wattle:
Genre: Historical Literary Fiction
History does not disappear, it follows us...
Saint Augustine said, "The dead are invisible, not absent." We carry the genes, the culture, and the stories of those who came before us. Every family’s past shapes how we understand time and place.
In 1924, Alice tells a terrible lie to reinvent herself, seeking refuge in the ill-fated Western Australian Group Settlement Scheme. But the past is not so easily erased. As she struggles to forget, fear silences her, and history leaves her behind.
Decades later, Jarrah begins to unravel the mystery of Alice’s silence. Following a trail of buried secrets from Australia to England, she pieces together a hidden past—one that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about family
and identity.
Will he like what he finds?
Rosanna:
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Brisbane. Pre Expo ’88. Rosanna walks into Anna’s art therapy. She is delusional. Prostituted. Homeless. The government deems her unfit for parenting. Caught up in Brisbane’s underbelly, she fights to reclaim her children. As Rosanna’s story unravels, Anna’s past begins to reveal itself.
An elusive familiarity haunts their relationship. What ties these two women together?
Rosanna is a deeply Australian story of hidden truths within the glory of our wild landscapes. It illuminates the healing force of sisterhood. Holds the charm of Celtic folklore. Shows the power of our human will to regain dignity out of the destruction of culture.

Reviews for Black Wattle:
‘I was totally involved with this unique multigenerational story and its compelling descriptions of complex characters and the hardships of early West Australian settlers. An absolute page turner!’ Linda Morison, Author of Lindacita Sails the Bahamas.
‘This transported me from busy English streets to the scrub- blocks of post-WW1 Western Australia. Words evoked images of the harshness and beauty of the land, which sat with me for days after reading.’ Nicole Kelly, Author.
‘Deeply moving, lyrical, and poignant. A powerfully immersive tapestry of pioneer resilience, identity, and buried secrets. Rich in vivid detail, emotional resonance and historical insight. Tender and gritty. Unforgettable.’ Deborah Morison, English Teacher.
‘Beautifully written, well-researched, detailing the immensely difficult struggles faced by the early 20th-century Western Australia group settlers. Joanne artfully weaves the past into the present as she examines the ripple effects upon their descendants’ lives.’ Barbara Maher
‘Small stones make big ripples in time... A compelling story of family, marriage and betrayal. Through eloquent prose, we suffer the indignities, bear the losses and see the repercussions of the choices Iris made for a better life. An accomplished debut that lives beyond the page.’ Debz Hobbs-Wyatt, Author and Editor.
Reviews for Rosanna:
‘Rosanna’s life has not been easy. The richly descriptive prose journals her path through hell and back during the post-Vietnam hippie era of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland. Rosanna survives and ultimately thrives, not just through her own strength but through the love shown and shared with a wonderfully eclectic cast of characters. This book has many twists and turns, mystical allusions and historical referencing, so read it slowly to savour the difficult but intriguing mystery and ultimate restoration of her life.’ Dr Margaret Matthews
‘Rosanna is set in a small rural town in the magical forests of the Northern Rivers region of NSW. Underlying this natural beauty is a disturbed and destructive underbelly that reflects a shameful era of neglect, abuse and violence in Australian family culture. Annie O’Moon-Browning’s subtle and sophisticated novel weaves the story of one woman’s triumphant healing journey back to herself. Rosanna is an important read.’ Dr Nicci Buirski
'There are some novels that are woven with magic and Rosanna is one of them. This is a book of the soul, transcending mere storytelling to become a guiding light that illuminates even in the darkest moments of life. Rosanna encapsulates the beautiful essence of Australian magic and infuses it with Celtic folklore to create a mesmerising and enriching tale. O’Moon-Browning writes as if the earth itself composed a melodic symphony, and she stood as the sole enraptured listener to write it for the rest of us to hear.' Paris Thompson, Reviewer
‘I loved the vivid, descriptive prose of O’Moon-Browning’s skilfully crafted novel about Rosanna’s life journey which follows the changing face of Australian history in the counter-culture. It is a beautifully written debut novel that I could not put down.’ Cathy Scully, Karuna Biographer
‘An engaging novel of a young woman’s traumas and journey to healing, revealed through conversations with her therapist. Vivid descriptions of life and landscapes in 1970’s and 1980’s northern New South Wales and Brisbane.’ Suzy Teo, Director Union Society Brisbane

This rug is such good quality and makes me so happy every time I look at it. I'm using this one for a top cover over my bedspread. It's a perfect match for my room and linen. I have another that I use as a throw for the lounge and a picnic rug! In LOVE.

The postage was incredibly quick and the quality and colours far exceeded what I thought. The pics don't do them justice. Truly unique rugs that I doubt will date anytime soon. I would recommend - beautiful rug and great customer service.

My husband argued with me saying we didn’t need a new blanket. Once we received this one, he quickly changed his tune. It’s cozy, soft and warm. I love the design and boho vibe it adds to our home. High quality product at an affordable price.
