*** Kal is perfect for the Christmas paperback and holiday reading market. It's a fabulous Australian saga/adventure in the best traditions of Bryce Courtenay, Colleen McCullough, Evan Green and Di Morrissey.*** Judy's mother Nancy grew up on the Kalgoorlie goldfields. Her father was a miner. When Judy was researching Kal, she and her mother went back there and spoke to many people about their memories of the town. According to Judy, they were far more forthcoming with information because of her mother being there than they normally would have been. The result is a portrait of a town that really lives on the pages, with a skilfully evoked snese of place and character.*** Kal contains all the qualities that turn books into bestsellers and enduring classics: generations of families, two fabulous love stories, gripping adventure, character-led drama, immaculately researched war passages and memorable and engaging characters. It is also Australian in the way many books try to be, but few succeed, and will appeal to both male and female readers.***'A huge and sumptuous novel...absolutely unputdownable. Nunn is mistress of the old-fashioned story that we all beg to hear.'HELEN ELLIOT, HERALD SUN*** Judy is a household name and face as Ailsa in Australia's most popular TV soap, 'Home and Away'. This show has hundreds of thousands of viewers in Australia - a built-in readership for Judy's books!*** There is now a 'Home and Away' website on Channel Seven's website www.seven.com.au/homeandaway/ It is the most visited part of Seven's website and attracted tens of thousands of users every week. One of the features of the site is 'Extracurricular Activities', and the organiser of the site is really keen to feature Judy's books as part of that. We can also advertise signing sessions, talks, etc on it, so it should be a fantastic addition to publlicity.*** As far as publicity goes, Judy is a seasoned campaigner and brilliant media talent. It will be 3 years since she was last out there promoting Kal, so we should be able to get her on to every TV and radio show known! She will be taking 2 weeks out of the show for publicity, so expect a media blitz! She will also promote the backlist.*** Great new package for the backlist - will also be promoted alongside Judy's new book, Beneath the Southern Cross.
