The emotion of a romance and the intensity of a suspense plot, in the drama of the Australian landscape – this is the rich combination that my books explore.

Hi Gemma,
Thank you so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the book! I’m still working on the next book, but it should be out next September – in time for your next birthday
Hope you had a great birthday – and please thank your Mum from me for choosing my book as a birthday present.
Cheers,

Hi Bronwyn
I have just finished As Darkness Falls and wanted to let you know how fantastic it was I loved it from start to finish I loved Bella and Alec two truly wonderful people who really needed the strength they gained from each other.
You had me on the edge of my seat and I really felt a part of the story thank you for a wonderful story.
Hopefully we will be able to meet up again at Max Brenners before the conference.
Have Fun

Hi BJust finished as darkness falls loved it cant wait for your next book love Ellenronwyn,
I have just put in a one tough day, reading your brillant story As Darkness Falls, I fell in love with your characters, the town and people of Dungirri and had to see how it ended. Your ability to describe is amazing allowing our imagination to fill the picture. Can’t wait for you next book!
:bouncing in my seat: oh I love love love the blurb for Dark Country
:wail: when will it be available here in the US? :sniff:
Helen, Ellen and Karen – thank you for your positive comments about As Darkness Falls! It’s always special to hear that ‘my’ book connected with readers so well, and I appreciate you taking the time to let me know!
Azteclady – no word yet on a US deal – but I think Dark Country will be out in the UK in April 2010 – so you could order it from Book Depository (free shipping) then – but I know, it seems ages away!
I thoroughly enjoyed As Darkness Falls then lucked into Dark Country when walking through a book shop. I also found this to be a ‘Don’t put down novel’. I am interested to know when the third book in the trilogy will be released.

Hi Bronwyn,
Just finished “As Darkness Falls” and thoroughly enjoyed it, I’m going out tomorrow to get the next one, hopefully.
As an avid reader of James Patterson,Robin Cook, and Tony Park , to name a few, I found your creation just as gripping and polished. Looking forward to many more hours in your imagination. Chris Cole.
I came across Dark Country at Sydney Airport and just knew I had to have it. I read it in a few hours! So now I have to work backwards and read As Darkness Falls.
I love this genre, and as an Australian who only sometimes lives in Australia, I absolutely adore stories like this.
The characterisation was just perfect, and it all felt so real. Thank you so much and keep writing – as fast as you can manage!!
I have just read Dark Country and must complain about it-I just could not put it down! What a fantastic book and I am on the lookout for your other book As Darkness Falls. I have passed it on to another friend to read who had the same problem. She is now purchasing a copy as a present for a family member’s Birthday
Home snowbound in the UK and just finished As Darkness Falls, great read! Well done and can’t wait to read your next book!
Fantastic books, I usually only read true crime but these two books really got me in and I can’t wait for more. Keep up the good work Bronwyn.
Hi,
I saw on a couple of websites (such as Book Depository and Books on Board) that your books are listed as ebooks, but that they are not currently available.
Does this mean that they will be available as ebooks some time in the future? I prefer print books, but as I am at my computer for much of each day, I’d love to have copies to read during breaks.
Hi! I have read both of your books, and loved them both. I could not put them down read both in two days. Is there going to be a third, if so I can’t wait.
Keep up the fantastic work Bronwyn.
Dear Ms. Parry -
I enjoyed As Darkness Falls, and have just finished Dark Country, which I liked even better. I ordered both from Book Depository, so it sounds like that’s where I’ll need to look for the final book in the trilogy. If your book is published September 2010 in Australia, I’ll hope that means I can look for it soon after at Book Depository. Best of luck to you, and I’ll hope to see your books on our shelves here in the US soon. You’re getting good buzz on DearAuthor.com.
Dear Bronwyn,
I love both of your books and having been eagerly awaiting the third instalment from the moment I set Dark Country down on my coffee table after finishing it the first time (a day after having bought it). It’s wonderful having an Australian author whose work is set here and whose characters are so familiar and genuine to a fellow local. Your books come alive from the pages, the people, places and events vivid and as heart capturing as if you had always known and loved the characters.
I’ve just finished reading them both again and I was struck by how enjoyable it is to re-read them. One of my criteria for a truly great book is one where knowing “the twist” doesn’t ruin it, especially in crime/suspense fiction. One where, getting to the last page makes me want to flick back and read favourite parts again rather than to stick it on the “read” pile for placement at the back of the bookshelves. Both As Darkness Falls & Dark Country fall into the former category – among my favourite books.
I can also pass on the love from the friends and family I’ve introduced them to and have found them equally delightful – although they are rather hazardous to have in reach during exams I’ve found.
My one wish would be to see them come out as audio editions, although it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve read an entire book out loud so perhaps I’ll just have to dose up on butter-menthols!
Thank-you & I hope that writing (and life in general) is going well.

Dear Bronwyn, i read As Darkness Falls in January and have just this minute finished Dark Country. I read Dark Country in 2 days (thank God for school holidays, yes i am a teacher).

Sooooonnnnnnn pleeassssee!!!!!!!!!! Well done and i hope all is well with you and please keep writing!

Dear Bronwyn
Thank you so much for your two books, I could not put them down. I thoroughly enjoyed them. It’s great to sit and read a book that you can enjoy and somehow be a part of. I could smell the dirt and dust.
Waiting for a third one ….. please!!
Hello Bronwyn, I finished reading As Darkness Falls at 4.30am this morning. Usually I fall asleep well before then but I could not stop reading.
I will go and find Dark Country now, thank you for a fantastic read. Kaye.
Hi Kaye! Sorry that As Darkness Falls kept you up so late
I hope you managed to make it through the day without falling asleep! I hope you enjoy Dark Country, too.
hi, i also loved your book ” as darkness falls ” i read it at least every 3 months or so. i just wish the story would continue on with Alec and Bella, to see where their relationship goes, im not really into Australian authors, but reading your book has made me think, wow there are good Australian writers out there.
I have had the pleasure of reading both these books, I never ever read books until i had a motorcycle accident and was bought when darkness falls, I could not put the book down ,and as soon as i had finished it i bought Dark country,both books are amazingly good and keep you enthralled right to the very end. please let there be more,as i am now addicted to the characters and the place. I would like to thank you for getting me to read books and actually enjoy it.
Hi bronwyn, have just read both of your books in the last few weeks and loved them. Just wondering when the next one is due for release?
Many thanks, Gemma
Sarah, Gary and Gemma, my apologies for taking so long to reply – I’m stil trying to catch up with emails and messages after my surgery.
Sarah, I’m glad that you loved Alec and Bella’s story! Although Dark Country focuses on Kris Matthews from As Darkness Falls, Alec and Bella are mentioned, so there’s a little of their future in that. I also wrote a short story that was published in the Australian Woman’s Day magazine last year, that mentions them – I may perhaps be publishing that in another format once I check on some rights issues. I’m not planning at this stage on any more books focusing on Alec and Bella, but maybe sometime in the future that might change!
Gary, thank you for your kind words about both my books – it’s great to know that they helped distract you during a difficult time! Having spent time in hospital and recuperating myself, I know how good it is to be able to get absorbed by a book. I hope that you are well recovered form your accident now! Unfortunately I won’t have any more books out until next year. I hope you’ve found other good books to enjoy in the meantime!
Gemma, thanks for taking the time to comment! Unfortunately due to the surgeries I’ve had, my next book won’t be out until next year, hopefully in May. I’m still finishing it at present! However, now that I’m recovered, there should be no more health distractions, so I’m aiming at a book a year in the future, so as soon as I finish this one and send it to the publisher, I’ll be starting the next
I know it’s a long wait until next year, but I do recommend Helen Young’s books to readers who enjoy mine – Helene also writes Australian-set romantic suspense, and her two books, Wings of Fear, and Shattered Sky, are both out now.
Hi Bronwyn,
Congratulations on your first 2 books. I found both at my library and read them in chronological order. I found the first one to be a bit “Mills and Boon” only with a bit more guts. The second one was fantastic. Look forward to the third in your “loosely related trilogy”. I love Australian stories, and the way you improved on your first, I am thinking your third will blow people like Bryce Courtenay out of the water. That says a lot because he has a lot of guts in his stories too. They are not just formula written romances.
Thanks for many hours of very enjoyable reading.
