As you browse our website you will be informed of the stock status of particular titles. If you are unsure what the status means, an explanation will pop up when your mouse cursor moves over it.

Please note:
Individual titles stock status is updated three times a week so reports are normally accurate.

From time to time however we can have multiple orders come in between website updates so status reports for a short period of time may be inaccurate, which means a title listed as "In Stock" may need to go to backorder.

Sally Odgers' first book was written in three basic exercise books with a dying ballpoint pen. Most of the writing took place in the barn, out in the paddock - wherever she could find somewhere peaceful. The writing was illegible, so she taught herself to type. Her next effort, written when she was 12, was a collection of short stories, composed on a portable typewriter. Two unicorn fantasies and a half-finished cat fantasy followed. After producing something like 80 000 words, she wrote another collection of short stories during her final year at school. This was published in 1977.
