It's only fitting that for this final Tuesday of Aussie Author Month that my teaser for Teaser Tuesday comes from an Aussie author. It is also fitting that the day after Anzac Day, the book is set during WWII. The teaser comes from page 122 of Little Paradise by Gabrielle Wang:
Slowly, carefully, she tucked the pouch into the corner of her suitcase. But at the same time she made a promise to herself: no matter what had been predicted, she was going to fight for JJ, fight to keep him, fight for their future together.
Isn't the cover on this book gorgeous! Even more so when you realise that the image comes from a photo of the author's mother!
Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!

Here is my Teaser Tuesday: THe Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly post!
I do love the cover. The blue in the dress is so gorgeous. It's very rare that the author would pose for the front of the book. Hope the book itself is a good read. Thanks for visiting Quirky Girls

Hi, Marg. Thanks for visiting my blog. I was definitely ready for Clockwork Prince to be released before I even finished Clockwork Angel. :D That is a really lovely cover, and the teaser makes me wonder what was in the pouch. I really like it.
