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 mum is simply the best and the highlight of my world, she deserves nothing but the finest pleasures life can give her. x
Mum is busy looking after Dad as he’s just had a surprise quadruple bypass and it would be nice for her to escape reality for a little while with a nice cuppa and a book.
My mum’s favourite thing is to buy me cook books with the recipes marked that she’d like me to make for her. The What’s for dinner cook book and a new pack of post it notes would be a great little gift for her!
Unfortunately, my mum has escaped to another world, so I’m entering for ME. I just love to read, and need to escape–four part-time jobs and all my mom-duties.
Mum’s gigantic heart is greater than Phar Lap. Always there for me and always positive, she deserves to have Karly Lane keep her up late with reading.
as she works hard as a carer and needs some time out to care and indulge in a good book and take her mind off daily stresses and escape to another existence for a while
When Mum’s not babysitting her grandchildren she’s on the farm working. The only time she gets to relax a little is at night before bed so these books would be perfect to help her do that.
My mother taught me the value of many things but most importantly she taught me the value of reading and how wonderful it is to escape in a book to another world. I would love to be able to win her a gift pack of books for her to escape into.
My Mum can hear the waves crash on the beach from her house I think reading and hearing the ocean would be perfect
Mum is an avid reader it’s her favourite pastime. She’s travelled from Sydney to Melbourne multiple times to help me with toddlers and deserves this!
