1 y separately published work icon The Publican's Daughter Lindy Warrell , Australia : Wattletales Publishing , 2022 25303855 2022 single work novel

'It is 1962 and, at 19, Katherine Forster wants to find a husband. She decides to join her publican parents when they buy the only hotel in an outback railway town where rumour has it, men outnumber women, ten to one. But nothing is as she hopes.

'Katherine fears for her sanity as she is drawn into a vortex of family dysfunction, hard men, garrulous older women, frontier violence and rape. Aboriginal friends provide succour but, when tragedy strikes, she must choose a way forward.

'The Publican's Daughter is a poignant tale of a young girl's brutal awakening through dashed expectations, betrayal, and loss at a time when sexism and racism flourished. With compassion and clarity, this debut novel offers a unique insight into the Australian outback, seen through the eyes of a naive city girl.'

1 y separately published work icon A Curious Mix in Free Verse Lindy Warrell , Australia : Wattletales Publishing , 2022 25303694 2022 selected work poetry

'This collection by Lindy Warrell has no pretensions other than to invite readers to dance to the tune of a curious mix of words held together by the absence of form: free verse.

'Each poem strikes a mood with variations from serious or dark to light and funny. Some are wise, others nonsensical with the overall aim to entertain.'
