Following on from the success of The Wideawake Hat, Shepherd’s Delight is the second book in the spellbinding Applecross Saga by Amanda Giorgis.
A fictional tale, set against the stunning scenery of New Zealand’s Mackenzie Basin, using true historical events surrounding the European settlers in South Canterbury in the late 1800s.
Eligible, handsome, witty and charming, Guy Pender is looking for a purpose in life, maybe even a wife to join him in his desire to return to New Zealand, where he hopes to be reunited with his friends at Applecross Station. His experience of romantic love, so far, has been one of misunderstood passion from an unexpected quarter.
There was always a book in my head waiting to come out, but it took a chance visit to inspire me to finally put pen to paper.
Terry and I emigrated from England to New Zealand in 2008 and moved to the beautiful Mackenzie Basin where the idea for The Applecross books was born. These days we live in North Canterbury where I still write looking out over the flat plains to the snow-capped mountains beyond. It is a place where it is easy to find inspiration for stories of early pioneers who made this unique place their home. We share our home with two rescued huntaway dogs, Ted and Hunter, some chickens, who are more ornamental than productive, ten acres of wild garden and the dark skies of the Southern Hemisphere.
When not writing, I ring church bells and enjoy photography and finding out about my family history. On lazy days, I get the knitting needles out.
