More about our visiting authors:
Rachael Johns
Rachael Johns is the bestselling author of THE PATTERSON GIRLS, winner of the Australian Book Industry Award (ABIA) for General Fiction 2016, and a two-time recipient of the Romance Writers of Australia’s RUBY Award. With more than 30 novels to her name, she’s one of Australia’s most beloved authors of warm, witty women’s fiction, heartfelt rural romance and feel-good romantic comedies.
She’s also a passionate advocate for books, readers and the Australian writing community.
Rachael co-hosts the podcasts Reading Between Deadlines and Dear Rach & Soph, runs the 7,500-member Rachael Johns’ Book Club on Facebook, and writes the Substack newsletter Pink Ink, where she shares a behind-the-scenes look at writing life.
Her debut novel was released in December 2011, and she’s been living her dream ever since. Today, Rachael writes women’s fiction, rural romance, romantic comedies, and in 2027 will release her first co-written cromance (crime-romance) novel with Mercedes Mercier.
Rachael lives in the Swan Valley with her husband, a sheepadoodle, a grumpy ginger cat and two out of three of adult sons. She hopes that when you pick up one of her books you’ll laugh, cry, fall in love with the characters and feel just a little bereft when you turn the final page.

The Number One Insta Detectives Agency
The heart-stopping new crime-romance series by bestselling Australian authors Rachael Johns and Mercedes Mercier.
Do you suspect your online date is seeing other people? Or catfishing?
Or that you're just a number in your situationship's roster?
It's time to call in The Number One Insta Detectives Agency.
Olivia, Sheridan, Juniper and Emery - an unlikely team of friends bonded over their love/hate relationship with the online dating world - have gone viral for cracking the toughest digital dating crimes. If only their own romance dramas were as easy to solve.
Juni has decided to go boy sober after leaving behind a string of heartbroken exes . . . that is, until a 'hot cop' moves in next door. Their instant connection is threatened when the Insta Detectives stumble on something far more criminal than a red flag.
This chilling case leads them from dodgy dive bars to a maximum-security prison. Suddenly, the Insta Detectives have more than just their hearts on the line - it's their very lives in danger.
Two bestselling Australian authors join forces in this genre-bending crime-romance series that will steal your heart - and your breath - and prove that while dating can be difficult, making it out alive can be deadly.
