Welcome !
'Barbara Hannay Books are one of life's best simple pleasures.' Goodreads
Thanks for dropping by my website. I’m very excited to show you the lovely new cover for my upcoming release Their Island Home.
Bestselling and award-winning Australian author Barbara Hannay brings us on a journey to rediscover the true meaning of home in a heartwarming novel that weaves themes of family, loss, new beginnings and unexpected love.
I absolutely loved writing Their Island Home, a story set on North Queensland’s beautiful Magnetic Island, and I’m excited to be offering Advanced Reader Copies to folk who sign up for my newsletter.
Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing more stories and photos with my newsletter readers showing why this island is so special.
Also you can find regular updates on my Facebook page and on my blog.
And while you’re here, check out my 2025 release SECOND CHANCE FAMILY
“There is a good reason Hannay is regarded as one of the best rural romance writers in Australia – books like this one!
What a heart-warming, emotional story (even if you know exactly how it is going to end). It was so lovely to meet widowed Callie Madden and her three beautiful children, fourteen-year-old identical twins Jenna and Grace,and six-year-old Joey, in this novel. And not to be overshadowed, Scotsman Ben Gailbraith – perfect casting!
The setting made me want to hop on a plane to North Queensland. Hawkridge, the mountains, the bird life, the farm – it all came to life in every detail.
A lovely read whenever you need some reality with a dash of optimism and a happy ending.” Natalie M on Goodreads
