When the Snow Gums Dance

by

Anne McCullagh Rennie

When the Snow Gums Dance another enjoyable read by Anne McCullagh Rennie, commences in Snow Gum country in Victoria’s Alpine region and features Kylie Harris who is the ski queen of her local district.

Neither Kylie nor her sister Gwen is happy when their parents decide to move to Dunk Island to run a resort.  The girls want snow and so they decide to head off Canada’s Whistler snow fields to work the season.  While in Whistler they are asked to stay on and work the next season in Aspen.  A big mistake!

After returning to Australia Kylie’s next move is into aid working in Papua New Guinea.  While there she bumps into Danno a boy who she had teenage crush on many years prior.  However, again fate intervenes.   After completing her time in Papua new Guinea she is only days away from returning to aid working, this time in Sri-Lanka, when fate deals another card.

Legend has it that if two people kiss beneath the snow gums, the result will be a love greater and more potent than any other on the face of the earth.  The question is, will Kylie find her one true love after a snow gums kiss?

When the Snow Gums Dance is an easy read, fast paced, romance by Anne Rennie.  It is devoid of coarse language and heavy sex scenes.  When the Snow Gums Dance, a breath of fresh air after reading other novels which almost revolve around the bedroom.

If you like good clean storylines I feel certain that you will love Anne McCullagh Rennie’s novels.

Reach For the Dream

by

Anne McCullagh Rennie

Reach For The Dream by Sydney author, Anne McCullagh Rennie, was my second novel by this author.  Rennie is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.

Shortly after the death of their mother, eight year old, Alice and younger brother, Ben and also lose their family home and any connection they had to their mother when their house burns to the ground.

Their shearer father palms of his children to live with his sister and her family, where both settle in fairly well with the exception of an obnoxious female cousin.

Alice loves the outback and soon she and Ben have plans to start a sheep stud from which they will breed the best wool in the country.  However, the best laid plans are often thwarted by fate and jealous cousins.

Alice moves to London where she works successfully as part of a research team, for half a decade or more.

Upon her return to Australia she purchases land near Bilabrinn where her aunt lives, and commences to pursue her dream of breeding the best wool Australia has ever seen.   Although many of the locals just want her to breed…a woman’s place is in the home… and all that.

If you like good clean storylines and Outback Australia I feel certain that you will love Reach for the Dream.

Book Review-Song-of-the-Bellbirds

 

Song of the Bellbirds 

by

Anne McCullagh Rennie

Song of the Bellbirds by Sydney author, Anne McCullagh Rennie, follows the fortunes of a young Australian singer from Queensland, in her quest to become a professional opera singer.

All young Lizzie Foster wants to do is help out on the family farm and sing while doing so. However, life has other plans…for her.

Eventually she is asked to go to Vienna and study with the best of the best. It is in Vienna that she meets her one true love. After several years Lizzie returns to Australia and her home own and vows never to sing again. That is, until…..

Song of the Bellbirds has nearly an all female cast of characters…a change from the thrillers and crime genre novels I usually listen to, or read.

I thoroughly enjoyed Song of the Bellbirds and think it deserves its four star rating.

 

An enjoyable

read.
