In episode 24 of the Writers off the Page Podcast, bestselling rural fiction author Fleur McDonald launches her new book, Deception Creek, plus what it takes to write a book and the benefits of getting your manuscript assessed.

Fleur McDonald is the undisputed 'Voice of the Outback'. She grew up in a tiny South Australian town called Orroroo, and later became a jillaroo, moved to Western Australia and bought a farm in Esperance.


Her first novel Red Dust became a bestseller, and since then she’s written a further 17 books, all set in the Aussie outback. The latest is Deception Creek, a rural suspense novel about a returned criminal, a cult-like family and cybercrime, set against the backdrop of the Flinders Ranges


Fleur McDonald is also the founder of a not for profit organisation called DV-Assist, based in the bush to help rural people experiencing domestic violence.
