Pilyara Press is excited to announce the international publication of Jennifer Scouller’s latest novel, The Rivertown Vet.

Until now The Rivertown Vet has only been available for Australian and New Zealand readers where it is published by Penguin Random House.

Our international readers can now join Jana and Mark on their captivating journey and discover the magic of second chances and the importance of fighting for what truly matters.

This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance tells the story of local vet Jana Malinski, who along with her sister, runs a wombat sanctuary on their family’s peaceful property by the beautiful Murray River. But Jana’s routine is up-ended after a chance encounter with handsome accountant and single dad Mark – the man who broke her heart in high school.

Offered the opportunity to run Wildfell Park, the town zoo that has fallen into disrepair, Jana must push past her hostility to save the local landmark and home to countless native and exotic animals. But working alongside Mark every day isn’t easy, especially given the undeniable attraction between them. While she fights her feelings, a new danger emerges – one that could threaten the very existence of Wildfell Park and Jana’s dreams of an ideal future.

Set against the stunning backdrop of South Australia’s river country, The Rivertown Vet is a heartfelt and charming tale about community, conservation, and kindness.

Now for the giveaway! Paradise Valley is also now available for international audiences through Pilyara Press. As a thank you to our readers, for the next two weeks you can download it for free using this link. https://dl.bookfunnel.com/5gxcfsp7z1

Well done, Monique Mulligan, Author

Well, this was unexpected! My children's picture book MY SILLY MUM (Serenity Press, 2016, illust. Veronica Rooke Fishbitten) was one of the top five recorded titles in the first quarter of the Australian Library and Information Association Online Storytime program!

I've just found this lovely reading of the book for Mother’s Day by City of Swan Libraries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIwusfu8tgI&t=118s

For those looking for a warm-hearted book for children, My Silly Mum is still in print - more info about the book here: https://serenitypress.org/my-silly-mum/

Online Storytime was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic halting in-person library programming, including storytimes and author talks. Libraries needed to move programs online and with the help of authors, illustrators and publishers, Online Storytime helped do just that. I'm thrilled to be a part of it!
