Author Tess McLennan uses the outback as the backdrop for her novel, Ghosts.
It is the story of Imogene who tells, in first person, of her life following the mysterious disappearance of her mother, Marella, and her role now as sole carer of her younger sister, Clementine.
It is a life of regret and unfulfillment as Imogene gives up her own dreams of a career as a photographer to support Clementine's ambitions as a professional dancer.
When she meets Henry and his sister, Aggie, goes missing unexpectedly, it leads them on a harrowing journey to uncover 'frightening secrets' hidden in the rugged outback.
Printed in bold, large type on pristine white paper, Ghosts is easy to read and would make a great gift for someone about to take a plane flight.
Ghosts, $24.99, Short Stop Press, available at book stores.
