Are you ready to fall in love? Pour a cuppa and come home to the country with short stories from Australia's small-town storyteller and bestselling author of House for all Seasons and the Calingarry Crossing Collection. Like all Jenn's full-length novels, these compact reads with a backdrop of country life have characters to surprise and delight country lovers. The Country Crush Collection also has ebook editions (five stories in each) under the titles: That Time in Tanglewood and One Friday in Sunflower. Country Crush - the PRINT edition - has all ten stories.
THAT TIME IN TANGLEWOOD
The Timekeeper’s Store:
A watchmaker can’t control time; he can only set the hands. What happens after he returns the timepiece is up to the owner.
Sew Special:
Audrey’s tiny alteration business can’t prevent her life from falling apart at the seams any more than it can mend her broken heart. That will take someone special.
About Midnight:
Who is Claudia more afraid of losing? Jack, the boyfriend? Or Ben, the best mate?
Lost in Lingerie:
Could the cute customer in the Akubra hat take out Nina’s Weirdo of the Week Award?
A Suitcase by the Door:
Zippers! The noise coming from the spare room—the suitcase zipping shut—is the tiny sound that screams someone is leaving someone.
ONE FRIDAY IN SUNFLOWER
Swept Away:
Life’s special moments usually flash before a person’s eyes moments before death. Reporter, Sally O’Neill, sees a headline: Washed Up Before She’s Even Begun!
A Penny for your Thoughts:
The coin will decide for him. Heads, he’ll do it without delay. Tails, it can wait.
Geronimo
Grayce was thirty-eight when she jumped, but with nothing much to say.
Quick was easy. Brief was best. A single word more than enough.
The Male Run:
Dr Ellie Porter doesn’t know ‘a male run’ is what she needs until the day her sister gives her one.
Some Days are Diamonds:
She’s on her way to the fortieth floor to say yes—to a marriage proposal and a penthouse apartment in Paris—when a city-wide power outage traps her in an elevator with country lad, Mack Pratt.
Genre: Science Fiction
