Hello, I’m Monica McInerney – welcome to my Amazon Author page. In 2022, I’m delighted to be celebrating 22 years as a published author, with 12 bestselling novels and a short story collection for adults, published internationally and in a dozen languages. In 2021, my first children's book, Marcie Gill and the Caravan Park Cat, was published in Australia and New Zealand. I write big books about messy families, packed with twists, turns and plenty of comedy. They include Those Faraday Girls, At Home with the Templetons, Family Baggage and my latest novel, The Godmothers, all out now in Australia, NZ, the UK, Ireland. The Godmothers will be published in the USA in September 2022, with an Italian edition on the way too. I love exploring the ties and tensions of family dynamics, long-hidden secrets, sibling rivalry, parenthood, married life, and friendship. My fictional families face grief, loss, infidelity, envy, obsession and loss, as well as love in its many forms. My novels are emotional and drama-filled, but there’s always humour too. I really enjoy connecting with readers through my website, Facebook and Instagram, where I regularly run giveaways and share lots of reading tips and recommendations too. It’s a lively international community of booklovers and I hope you’ll join us. I grew up in a family of nine in the Clare Valley wine region of South Australia, where my dad was the railway stationmaster and my mum worked in the local library. For the past 30 years, my Irish husband and I have moved back and forth between Ireland and Australia. We currently live in Dublin. Before becoming a full-time writer, I worked in book publishing in Dublin and Melbourne, children’s television in Adelaide, the music industry in London and Sydney and as a public relations consultant in Tasmania. I’ve also been a barmaid, grape picker, hotel cleaner, kindergym instructor and waitress. I’ve been consistently voted into the Top 10 of Booktopia’s “Australia’s Favourite Author” poll, and won and been shortlisted for national book awards in Australia, Ireland and the UK.
