Meet Dr Annette Marner who has spent eight years documenting her ‘patch’, South Australia’s geologically extraordinary Southern Flinders ranges. With patience and respect for wildlife, and some very fancy camera gear, Annette captures in her book very up close and personal moments with the animals and birds of the region, and explains in beautiful prose the tumultuous geo-history of the region and why it contains such unique species. + Meet Eleanor Elliott Thomas, a former lawyer turned author, who’s written a darkly comic tale about a family fracturing over the best and worst of problems - a lotto win! Skeletons begin emerging from the family closet as the three very mismatched Halloway siblings gather around their mother, rightful owner of the winning ticket, who lies in a coma. GuestsAnnette Marner, author and photographer of “The Southern Flinders; A Celebration of Wildlife and Landscapes” Eleanor Elliott Thomas, author of “Do We Deserve This?” and also “The Opposite of Success” Other books that get a mention: Annie Hauxwell author of the Catherine Berlin crime series “Sorrow and Bliss” by Meg Mason “Flying Hero Class” by Thomas Keneally “ Normal Women - 900 years of Making History” by Philippa Gregory INSTAGRAM @text_publishing@eleanorelliottthomasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
