Mother’s Day is almost upon us and if she’s anything like mine, your mum deserves the world. There is no price that can be put on their worth and much as you would like to give her the world… it’s not possible.
What we are offering this Mother’s Day is the chance to win her an escape to another world, either in fiction or on her dinner table.
May sees the release of the new Karly Lane novel Second Chance Town, which I am eagerly awaiting, and to celebrate Allen & Unwin are generously providing us with a set of 6 Karly Lane novels and 4 runners up prizes of The Lovers’ Guide to Rome by Mark Lamprell and What’s For Dinner by Nadia Lim.
This is what Goodreads has to say about Second Chance Town:
The town of Bundah is dying, with many of its young people fleeing for jobs in the city. A desperate plan to revive Bundah’s fortunes – with generous incentives to attract new businesses – results in a flood of people coming to the town to set up shop.
As Bundah begins to come to life with the new arrivals, a spate of teenage drug overdoses starts to divide the locals. Many are convinced the narcotics trade has been brought to town by one of the newcomers. It doesn’t help that the mysterious new owner of one of the local pubs has a dark past.
Lucy Parker is a single mother doing her best to support her teenage daughter, Belle, through her last year of high school. It’s long been Belle’s dream to go to university, so when she starts to stray, hanging out with the wrong kids and experimenting with alcohol and possibly drugs, her mother is deeply troubled.
The very last thing Lucy needs is for a man like Hugh Thompson to mess with her heart and disrupt her life. However it seems fate has other ideas.
Suspenseful, pacy and packed with romance, Second Chance Town is a scintillating novel that is sure to grow the fan base Karly Lane has established with her bestselling novels Poppy’s Dilemma and Gemma’s Bluff.
The Karly Lane book pack includes:
- Second Chance Town
- Tallowood Bound
- Poppy’s Dillema
- Gemma’s Bluff
- Bridies Choice
- Morgan’s Law

I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews. Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS!
My mother has provided so much support and encouragement throughout my life. I would love for her to win this book pack. Karly lane is a fantastic Australian author. Tallow even references the palm tree bombed down the road from both my mother and grandmother. They would love to read that.
I get my passion for reading from my mum, so I know she would appreciate this bundle for mothers day. Mum works hard and shes doesn’t often get time to sit back and relax, however she’s taking a well deserved holiday and it would be fantastic for her to have some new books to devour.
She needs a rest from the real world to relax and put her feet up and get the nana rest she deserves
I’d like to win this for my daughter Alison who is a mother too. She has 3 young children, one of whom is on the autism spectrum and not always ‘easy’. Alison is in her second year at university studying for a diploma of nursing. I admire her greatly for her persistence and perseverance. I don’t know how she keeps up the pace! Escaping with a good book for a while would be perfect for recharging her batteries.
I would love this for my mum. She is a woman of simple needs and has had a hard life so this would be a simple yet great escape for her.
My mother loves to read. Now that the years are catching up with her her adventures and travels are of the armchair variety. The Karly Lane book pack sounds like the ideal escape for her.
At 83 my Mum deserves to escape into this wonderful world of books . She still looks after me more than I deserve. She is my whole world and has brought up 9 children and still going strong and her great love is reading so she would love to curl up in bed at night and immerse herself in these books and forget her aches and pains .
I am a Mum of two that I brought up by myself. Nanna of four gorgeous grandkids. But alas The kids are always busy and don’t seem to get the time to come see me. So I read get onto the computer and not much else. I don’t have a lot of money to even go out for a Mother’s day lunch. Cheers
I know we are my mums world and she deserves time-out because she has been so good and giving of herself, unlike the kids definition of their time-out of course 😉
she needs a knee operation she’s got bone on bone and is refusing at the moment a book will keep her company and give her that escape from the pain I hope
