The Shelly Beach Writers’ Group

With a cast of unforgettable characters, The Shelly Beach Writers’ Group is an irresistible story of reinvention.

What do you do when your husband dumps you for his PA, your company goes broke and your nearly published novel is cancelled?

Gina, a barely 50-something corporate high-flier, is counting her losses when a chance meeting throws a sea change her way. A job as a house/dog-sitter - albeit in a minus one-star leaky cottage in windswept Shelly Beach - seems the perfect opportunity to relax and regroup. But Gina hasn’t counted on the locals, and soon finds herself reluctantly convening the writers’ group, babysitting, baking, seal-watching, bicycling … and perhaps even falling in love.
