Meg’s Latest Book
When Callie March pushes her screen-addicted teenage son to join a local rowing club, she is thrust into a world of irrational obsessions, intriguing behaviours, insufferable dickheads and riverside rooting.
Callie is torn between enchantment and repulsion, until a trail of corruption and scandal leads to deep suspicion. There’s something fishy in the rowing shed, and Callie is determined to find out what lurks behind the closed doors of this pretentious sports club. In doing so, she will rock the boat, or better still, capsize it altogether.
This novel is set in northern Tasmania. It contains profundity, profanity, heart-ache, bum chafe, terrible winners and very good losers.
The Good Losers is out on July 1, 2025. Find it in your local bookshop, on audio or on e-book. And check Meg’s events page to see if The Good Losers tour is coming anywhere near you.
