Tarnished Gems

By Maureen Larter

Set in Sydney, this story follows the after effects of an accident on six women. Most of the women have secrets in their past that have made them what they are today. Will the accident cause any resolutions. Be aware, this story contains graphic scenes of rape, sex, incest and war crimes. This is written under the pen-name Marguerite Wellbourne as I usually write for children and this is an adult book.

The picture on my profile shows my illustrator, Annie Gabriel and myself (the lower of the two figures) at a book signing. I write books for children under my own name (viewAuthor.at/MaureenLarter) and under the pen-name Marguerite Wellbourne when I write for adults. (viewAuthor.at/MargueriteWellbourne). I live in N.S.W. Australia and have been writing all my life, but only got serious about it 10 years ago. My career has been as a teacher - of English and Music. I still teach piano and violin at home although I am now retired from school teaching. I spent several months living in China teaching English in 2006 and have written most of my books since I arrived back. I will continue to write - I have several books already started - ranging from picture books and chapter books for children, to garden guides and adult literature. My next adult book will be a sci-fi!
