This post is essentially a duplicate of my post from Wednesday, but I must remind you that...

SECRETS IN THE PAGES IS TOMORROW!! (SEP 19TH) COME ON DOWN TO THE CONSERVATORY AT THE ALL SEASONS RESORT FROM 11AM TO 3PM AND SEE BOOKS GALORE! LIMITED DISCOUNTED TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

A rural celebration of stories, creativity, and community.
Secrets in the Pages is a rural Victorian indie author book event created to bring the energy, connection, and excitement of city‑based literary gatherings to regional readers. We exist to celebrate human creativity, uplift regional voices, and create spaces that feel warm, inclusive, and deeply connected to the towns we call home.

This will be Woodland Collection's first event, so hopefully this gets the ball rolling for us to attend similar events in the future (do i spy melbourne ren faire on the horizon?👀)

🌷Stop by our table to get your hands on our Secrets in the Pages EXCLUSIVE mug and be one of the first to get your hands on a Woodland Collection tote bag! (these will be sold in store after the event)
🌻Whilst at our table, take the time to browse through the amazing Indie Authors that we have on offer at the moment and maybe find a new favourite author.
🌼Not sure what to pick from our selection of books? A Blind Date With a Book is always the way to go.
🌹Think you can figure out a book from its shredded pages? Have a whirl at guessing the shredded book in the jar to win a prize bundle filled with Woodland merch and a handful of items from our some of the sideline businesses we sell in store.

HERE'S A MAP WITH A BADLY DRAWN SQUIRCLE AROUND OUR TABLE! (psst, we're right by the door)

It's time for an Indie Author Saturday! Presenting.....

LAURA FITZWILSON
'Laura is a writer who specialises in speculative fiction with a focus on people. Her short story “All My Tuesdays” was shortlisted for the 2022 Aurealis Awards and she received a certificate of recognition from the Minds Shine Bright Confidence Writing Competition for her story "20,000 Watt Lightbulb". She writes from Wadawurrung Country in regional Victoria and it is her life’s aspiration to write as fearlessly as the Fast and Furious writers do.'

THE FOOL
The Fool is a low-spice, q***r fantasy romance that’s sometimes silly, sometimes dramatic and always earnest. It’s the story of a third-born prince who unwillingly becomes king after the death of his parents and brother. His kingdom and castle are in shambles, his family's murderers are getting bolder and he is utterly unprepared to be king, but Leo's biggest problem is the castle fool, who is determined to humiliate him and shake his already tenuous self-confidence. It’s just as much about grief, family dynamics, and social performance as it is about romantic love.

A WILD INDIE AUTHOR APPROACHES! GO GET THEM!

K. S. ELLIOTT
'K.S. Elliott, when not writing or coming up with another million ideas, is usually holed up with a good book, her cat, Marcia, cuddled up with her. On the weekends you can usually find her with the people she loves, at the beach, or finding something new to do.'

THE CURSE OF THE SEVEN
Curse of the Seven is the first book in the Redemption of Omnia series.
Dive head first into Alexia’s story, following her on her mission and having a laugh and the occasional cry along the way.
Alexia Novak had been fantasising for many Coronations on exactly how she would kill the King of Omnia.
As a young girl, she watched as this tyrant slit the rebellion leaders’ throats—her parents’ throats. Ever since, she took it upon herself to walk in their shoes. To create a rebellion of her own. But without an army, Alexia scoured the kingdom in search for those who aligned with her cause. And with her newly found family, she set out to avenge her parents.
But will Alexia succeed in her mission? Will it all go to plan? And who can you truly trust in a kingdom prophesied for damnation?

INDIE AUTHOR WEEK CONTINUES! WOWOWOWOW!

BEC EDEN
'Bec Eden is an indie romance author who can always be found with a book in her hand. She loves romance books of all types and writes a range of different sub-genres. One thing you can guarantee though, is that her writing will always have swoon-worthy characters and high heat!
Bec lives in Adelaide, South Australia with her husband and 2 very sweet and energetic boys. She generally prefers to be a homebody and can often be found curled up on the couch with a good book, snacks and her caramel scented candles.'

A SONG OF DEATH AND DESIRE (psst, something SPECIAL for this book might be coming 👀)
Bound to sea, cursed to consume.
Such is the siren's tune.
Eat your food, make it fast,
And never let a human past.
Kairi has always longed for more—more than the cold depths of the ocean, more than the endless hunger raging inside her daily. When she spares Eagan, a man whose soul should have been hers, she breaks the oldest rule of her kind. Now, both are haunted—he by visions of a woman and a song he can't escape, and she by the desire to become what she can never be. In a world where love and death dance too closely, Kairi must face the price of defying fate while Eagan must uncover the truth before it consumes them both.
But can a love born of defiance ever truly escape the curse that binds it?
A Song of Death and Desire is a 18+ Little Mermaid Retelling and Paranormal Romance that follows the journey of a siren and the man she was supposed to kill.

IT'S TIME FOR AN INDIE AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT WEEK! THAT'S A WHOLE WEEK FOR YOU TO DISCOVER SOME AWESOME NEW AUTHORS AND BOOKS!

JAY DELL
'Jay Dell (they/them) is a q***r, non-binary, neurodivergent storyteller and poet based on Dharawal Country in NSW, Australia. Their work spans the breadth of genre fiction – from urban fantasy and gothic horror to romantasy and science fiction – all woven through with themes of identity, belonging, and transformation.
When not drafting dark forests or wolves with amber eyes, Jay enjoys reading, drawing, and taking their energetic border collie cross to the beach.'

THEY THEM WOLF
Seventeen-year-old Fred McTire – a nonbinary teen trapped in the foster system – is counting down the days to freedom. But when Ginny Chase, all blue eyes and freckles, sashays into their life, she brightens Fred’s bleak world in unexpected ways, offering a glimpse of something they’ve never dared to hope for: belonging.
As Fred grapples with the complexities of adolescence – as if being q***r in a rural town weren’t hard enough – an unsettling force within them begins to stir, marked by violent outbursts and dreams of wolves with amber eyes. The arrival of Mathusi Manebarn, a new student with that same golden gaze, coincides with the discovery of a mutilated body on the outskirts of town, exposing a supernatural cover-up that threatens them all.
