2009, c2008., Adult, McArthur & Co. Call No: Fic Cou Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Fishing for Stars is a story of ambition, destruction, love, tears, laughter and hope. At its heart are two passionate, unforgettable and very different women. One is exotic, damaged, and shrewd; the other beautiful, determined and zealous. Both are bitter rivals for the love of the same man. Nick Duncan is an ingenuous male with a great deal more female on his hands than he can possibly hope to understand. The contest he is called upon to referee is the clash between the two great loves of his life: the seductive Anna Til, and the older, equally fascinating Marg Hamilton. Nick struggles between their worlds: one exploiting the world's riches for profit, the other fighting to save the environment and its creatures, large and small. Set in Australia, the Pacific islands, Japan and Indonesia during the latter half of the twentieth century."--Author's website.

2010., Adult, Bolinda Audio Call No: CD Fic Cou Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: It's the 1960s and the world of advertising is coming alive, and it's an exciting world to be part of. Simon Wong, a Chinese-Australian and promising young advertising executive, is sent to Singapore to establish an office. He finds himself thrust into an environment that is at once strangely familiar and profoundly different; one where the rules that govern behaviour, both in business and in personal life, differ wildly from what he is used to. And where all is not what it appears to be. Under the veneer of the commercial world lie some shocking truths, of people smuggling, drug trafficking and murder. And Mercy B. Lord, the woman Simon falls for, is caught up in it.
