LIAR BIRD
Is the truth just what you're made to believe PR whizz Cassandra Daley isn't afraid of using all the dirty tricks of the trade to spin a story her way.
A glamorous city-slicker from the wrong side of Sydney, Cassie made it by using her looks and moves to stay ahead of the game.
It took just one PR disaster with a potaroo of all things to bring her high flying lifestyle crashing down and that really shouldn't have come as such a shock. After all, her boss Wazza always said: "Do what it takes girl, but don't let them catch you".
Disgraced and mortified, she flees the city for an anonymous bolt hole.
But small-town Beechville has other plans for her. Feral pigs, a snake in the dunny, a philosopher frog and a town with a secret - could things get worse?
Add one man who has the sexiest way with maps she's ever seen and they soon do. Her best friend Jessica thinks she's been brainwashed by some kind of rural cult, and Jessica could be right. Can Cassandra reinvent herself or will she always be a liar bird?
Liar Bird is smart, funny and utterly engaging Australian fiction.
