    About this ebook

    Although part of a series, this can be read as a standalone

    A mother who's putting the hard word on her to get married, and a gene pool that's ankle deep at best? Will six months in the city be long enough to find a husband who's not related before the ceremony?


    Out from under their mother's watchful eye, Janey and her sister Maria are making the most of everything late-seventies Melbourne has to offer. And with Maria's Catholicism being mainly for show, there's no one to put the brakes on the lifestyle their mother had hoped to forestall when she'd sent the younger girl along as a chaperone of sorts.

    With the gene pool in their small Victorian country town shallow enough your knees are definitely staying dry, neither wants to waste a minute of their six months in the city. They're on a mission to find husbands who are at least twice-removed relations. If this means a few of their mother's rules need to be bent, then so be it.

    Shame then it's them helping a friend that has everything blowing up in their faces, throwing their mission into jeopardy and proving beyond doubt you can say as many hail Marys as you like and it won't make a blind bit of difference to a bad boy cop who's on a mission of his own.

    WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

    Lovely short story. I enjoyed the story line. The characters were entertaining and well developed for a short story. I would love to see this expanded into a novel. 5-STARS

    Andrene Low

    Andrene's love of writing was instilled in her by her mother, although if her mum was still alive, she’d be smacking Andrene across the back of the head given the direction some of her writing has taken. Irreverent, cutting and reflecting her background as a stand-up comic, it’s edgy with humour that’s very dark in places. Her That Seventies Series, which was relaunched in August 2017, comprises Heels and a Tiara, Friday Night Fever, Brush With Fame and Strapped for Cash, with a collection of companion reads in the pipeline. The series explores the wild ride the seventies was for anyone lucky enough to be young and single during this craziest of decades. Imagine a mash up between Sex in the City and That Seventies Show and you’re half way there.  Andrene’s currently working on a cozy paranormal mystery series about Frankie B, a jinxed witch with Bruce Lee moves and Dex, her Jack Russell familiar. Andrene lives in New Zealand in the beautiful Hawke's Bay. If you'd like to follow her on social media ... www.facebook.com/andrenelowauthor  Twitter - @AndreneLow  www.andrenelowauthor.com
