COVER REVEAL: Second Chance Lane

Thrilled to reveal the gorgeous cover for SECOND CHANCE LANE, releasing with Harper Collins Australia MIRA imprint, October 7th.

This is the sequel to LONG WAY HOME and I'm rapt so many readers are looking forward to this.

Here's the blurb:

From USA Today bestselling Australian author Nicola Marsh comes a compelling story of love, redemption and community.

When the past crashes into the future, there's more than hearts on the line.

Natasha Trigg leads a simple life in small-town Brockenridge. She works at the roadhouse, has good friends, and at the centre of her world is her daughter, Isla. She knows dumping musician Kody Lansdowne thirteen years ago by misleading him about her pregnancy was best in the long run. She drove him away so he could achieve his dreams but has always felt guilty. When a matchmaking Isla invites a surprise new neighbour to dinner, Tash and Kody come face to face once again...

Now a bona fide rockstar, Kody's in hiding to sort through the mess his life has become after a concert resulted in devastation. The last thing he needs is discovering he has a child. Especially as it means the one woman he's never been able to forget is now permanently part of his life. Pity he's so furious with her...

For Jane Jefferson, who has deliberately fooled townsfolk into believing her reputation is worse than it is for years, a second chance is something she thought she'd never get. Reconnecting with friendships she thought lost forces her to face the question: do past mistakes define you forever?

While navigating the troubled waters of forgiveness, friendship and love, will these three Brockenridge residents discover everyone deserves a second chance?

Trusting his family was her first mistake.

All Ria ever wanted was a family. Growing up alone in foster care, she imagined just how it would be. So when she fell in love with Grayson and had their daughter Shelley, she was determined to make his family love her too. She knew she’d never fit in with her glamorous sisters-in-law, or at the exclusive picture-perfect Chicago parties her mother-in-law threw, but with Grayson’s arm around her waist she tried her best to be a Parker.

Everything changed when Grayson disappeared.

Until one morning, Grayson leaves the house for work and never comes home. Left to raise Shelley alone, Ria is forced to turn to her husband’s family, to let her intimidating mother-in-law into her life, allow her to babysit Shelley, and accept her financial support. She tries to ignore the feeling that her sisters-in-law never thought she was good enough. They say they have no idea what happened to Grayson, and she tries very hard to believe them.

But Ria is about to learn that every Parker wife has secrets.

And protecting her daughter might come at a terrible price…

Utterly compelling, The Last Wife is an emotionally-charged novel about what one woman will do to survive. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Kerry Fisher and The Other Woman.

Release day: LONG WAY HOME

LONG WAY HOME is out now in bookstores throughout Australia & NZ, and available online for the rest of the world.

From USA Today bestselling Australian author Nicola Marsh comes a warm and winsome rural romance about second chances and belonging.

A prodigal daughter returns to Brockenridge... 

Eleven years ago Ruby Aston left Brockenridge - and its small-town gossip - for the anonymity of the big city. Now, a grieving Ruby is forced to come home to the place she loathes. But it also means returning to someone she's always regretted leaving behind...

Connor Delaney is determined to prove himself and not get by on his family name alone. To do this he needs to acquire the local roadhouse. He never anticipated the owner would be the same 'bad girl' who ditched him at the high school ball and was never heard from again.

For Alisha Nathieson, the grief of suddenly losing her dear friend and employer Clara Aston has forced her to examine her choice to stay and support her ageing parents. As she battles a growing need to explore her past, temptation wars with duty. And then there are her feelings for handsome chef Harry, who has secrets of his own...

In following their hearts, will this unlikely trio lose what they've craved all along?

Featuring 4 sisters-in-law who don't like each other very much, a powerful matriarch and a family hiding toxic secrets!

Here's the blurb:

Trusting his family was her first mistake.

When Ria married Grayson, she worried she would never fit in with the Parkers, her glamorous sisters-in-law or the exclusive picture-perfect Chicago parties her mother-in-law throws. But Grayson said they could create their own family, and when their daughter Shelley was born, Ria finally had the life she had always dreamed of when she was growing up in foster care.

Everything changed when Grayson disappeared.

Until one morning, Grayson leaves the house for work and never comes home. Left to raise Shelley alone, Ria is forced to turn to her husband’s family, to let her mother-in-law into her life, allow her to babysit Shelley, and accept her financial support. She tries to ignore the feeling that her sisters-in-law never thought she was good enough. They say they have no idea what happened to Grayson, and she tries very hard to believe them.

RECIPE: Chicken Pulao

Many readers tell me that reading BUSTED IN BOLLYWOOD makes them hungry, so here's a hearty Indian meal that's quick and easy and oh so delicious.

My mum has cooked a version of chicken pulao for years as a quick, easy meal. 

But I didn't know how easy it actually was until I made it this weekend.

Great for dinner parties, as you can take the entire pot!

I liked this version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_AW0RTKOmc then tweaked it to create my own version.

Here are my ingredients:

-roughly 1kg chicken thigh fillets, chopped into smallish pieces

-5 tablespoons yoghurt

-big handful chopped mint and chopped coriander

-1 tbspn chilli powder

-1 tbspn turmeric

-4cm knob ginger

-4 garlic cloves

-1 tsp salt

(these ingredients form the marinade.)

-8 cloves

-8 cardamom pods

-1 onion

-3 cups basmati rice

-5 cups water

 This shows the herb/spice mix before I put the chicken in.

(Make the ginger/garlic into a paste.)

This shows after I added the chicken and mixed.

METHOD:

Let the chicken marinate for 1 hour in the yoghurt, herbs, spices, salt, garlic, ginger.

Rinse and soak the rice for the same, then drain.

In a pot, heat oil (or ghee), enough to coat the bottom.

Fry cloves and cardamom until fragrant.

Add onion and fry until translucent.

Add chicken and fry for several minutes, stirring constantly. 

Add rice and fry, ensuring every grain is coated with the marinade. (Frying the rice will ensure it's fluffy at the end.)

Add 5 cups of water, cover and simmer on low until cooked (usually 20-30 minutes.)

This is the finished product.

Delish!

Can be served with raita for added zing but yummy on its own.
