The wise, witty and wine-filled follow-up to Two Steps Forward, Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist’s bestselling novel about walking the Camino. Three years after life got in the way of their long-distance relationship, Californian illustrator Zoe and English engineer Martin have an unexpected opportunity to reunite: a second chance to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims in Europe. This time, they won’t be walking the famous Camino de Santiago to north-west Spain but the less-travelled Chemin d’Assise and Via Francigena to Rome, the mountainous path down from rural France. And rather than each setting off solo, they will accompany Zoe’s old friend Camille—who, despite her terminal illness, insists she will walk the whole sixteen hundred kilometres to seek an audience with the Pope—and her not-so-ex-husband, Gilbert, who sees the trip as a gourmet tour. Then Bernhard, Martin’s young nemesis from the previous trek, shows up, along with Martin’s daughter, Sarah, who is having a quarter-life crisis and doesn’t exactly hit it off with Zoe… This is a novel about helping the people you love, and knowing when to let go. About figuring out what you really want in life. And seizing your chances, before it’s too late. “A novel of mature love and self-discovery set against the scenic backdrop of the pilgrims’ walk.” AGE on Two Steps Forward “[An] entertaining and refreshingly unpredictable romance.” SYNDEY MORNING HERALD on Two Steps Forward “Charming and absorbing.” DAILY MAIL on Two Steps Forward

Two Steps Onward

Drie jaar geleden liepen veertigers Zoë en Martin samen de Camino. Op zoek naar zichzelf vonden ze elkaar. Toen hield hun relatie geen stand, nu krijgen ze een tweede kans als ze Zoë’s vriendin Camille vergezellen op weg naar Rome. Camille heeft MS en wil koste wat kost de lange voettocht volbrengen. De tocht is heel anders dan de vorige. Dit keer geen vriendelijke dorpsbewoners en lekkere maaltijden. Nee, het is ruig, het plenst in de Alpen en ze logeren vaak in ongastvrije hotels waar mensen een jachtgeweer in de keuken hebben staan. Voor de everzwijnen. Gelukkig is er wel altijd wijn. In de voetsporen van talloze pelgrims worden de relaties op de proef gesteld, maar Camilles ziekteverschijnselen worden heviger. Iedereen is erop gebrand om Rome te halen. En dan slaat het noodlot toe, maar natuurlijk niet zoals je zou verwachten...

Camino

Roadtrip

Camino van Graeme Simsion (Het Rosie Project) en Anne Buist is een humoristische feelgoodroman over vriendschap, familie, liefde en de grote uitdagingen van het leven. Wat maakt het leven de moeite waard? En wat is het verschil tussen het leven dat je leeft en het leven dat je kiest? De Amerikaanse kunstenares Zoë en de Engelse ontwerper Martin zijn beiden in het schilderachtige Cluny, Frankrijk. Om een nieuwe start te maken, gaan ze – alleen – de lange weg afleggen die van Cluny naar Santiago de Compostela in het noordwesten van Spanje leidt, over de beroemde Camino de Santiago, de pelgrimsroute van Sint-Jakob. Ze kijken ernaar uit om in de voetsporen van de pelgrims te stappen die hun al eeuwen voorgaan op de Camino. Er wordt gezegd dat de Camino je verandert. Hij geeft je de kans een nieuwe versie van jezelf te vinden. Maar kunnen deze twee heel verschillende mensen ook elkaar vinden?

Zoe, a some-time artist from California, has recently lost her husband. Martin, an engineer from Yorkshire, is alone after a messy divorce. Both have ended up in Cluny, central France, on a separate journey to walk the Camino; two thousand kilometres to Santiago, in north-western Spain. The Camino changes you, it’s said. It’s a chance to find a new version of yourself. But can these two very different people find each other?

Two Steps Forward

A smart and funny story from the author of The Rosie Project - two misfits walk 2,000 km along the the Camino to find themselves and, perhaps, each other. A novel of second chances and reinvention from Graeme Simsion, and his wife Anne Buist. Optioned for film. Zoe, a sometime artist, is from California. Martin, an engineer, is from Yorkshire. Both have ended up in picturesque Cluny, in central France. Both are struggling to come to terms with their recent past - for Zoe, the death of her husband; for Martin, a messy divorce. Looking to make a new start, each sets out alone to walk two thousand kilometres from Cluny to Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain, in the footsteps of pilgrims who have walked the Camino (the Way) for centuries. The Camino changes you, it's said. It's a chance to find a new version of yourself, and a new beginning. But can these two very different people find themselves? Will they find each other? In this smart, funny and romantic journey, Martin's and Zoe's stories are told in alternating chapters by husband-and-wife team Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist. Two Steps Forward is a novel about renewal - physical, psychological and spiritual. It's about the challenge of walking a long distance and of working out where you are going. And it's about what you decide to keep, what you choose to leave behind and what you rediscover along the way. Optioned by Fox Searchlight for Ellen DeGeneres to produce through A Very Good Production

Forensic psychiatrist Natalie King works with victims and perpetrators of violent crime. She rides a Ducati a size too big and wears a tank top a size too small. Likes men but doesn’t want to keep one. And really needs to stay on her medication. Now she’s being stalked. Anonymous notes, threats, strangers loitering outside her house. Natalie doesn’t know who it could be. A hostile former patient? Or someone connected with a current case? Question is, will she find out before it’s too late?

Natalie King, Forensic Psychiatrist

Medea's Curse

Natalie King has been hired to do a psychiatric evaluation for the children’s court. A simple custody dispute. But nothing is ever simple. Malik, claims his ex-wife Jenna is crazy and compulsive; Jenna claims Malik has been abusing their daughter Chelsea. But what if all the claims are true? Or none? How can Natalie protect the child? And with both parents saying they’re desperate to keep their daughter safe — what if one of them is desperate enough to kill?

This I Would Kill For

Natalie King is back. Her reluctance to live a quiet life has led to severe depression, and now it's time to retreat to the country; a borrowed house on the Great Ocean Road and a low-key research job at a provincial university. But Natalie and trouble have a mutual attraction. Unsurprisingly, Natalie finds herself drawn deep into a local mystery, and even deeper into danger…

Dangerous to Know

Der unterhaltsame Pilgerweg-Roman durch Italien von Bestseller-Autor Graeme Simsion (»Das Rosie-Projekt«) Als Zoes gute Freundin Camille sie bittet, mit ihr aufzubrechen und den Franziskus-Weg bis nach Rom zu wandern, stimmt sie spontan zu. Der Pilgerweg, die skurrilen Herbergen, der Muskelkater unter Zypressen - all das ist ein Abenteuer. Besonders, als Zoe dabei Martin begegnet, dem Mann, mit dem sie schon einmal von einem gemeinsamen Leben geträumt hatte. Eröffnet dieser Weg durch Italien eine zweite Chance für die beiden? Ein Roman übers Aufbrechen und Ankommen und darüber, was uns im Leben und in der Liebe wirklich wichtig ist. »Bewegend, mit sanftem Witz.« New Daily, Melbourne Bestseller-Autor Graeme Simsion (»Das Rosie-Projekt«) und seine Frau, Psychologin und Autorin Anne Buist, haben »Schritt für Schritt zum Glück« gemeinsam geschrieben, jeder aus seiner Perspektive, wie bei ihrem Jakobsweg-Roman »Zum Glück gibt es Umwege«. Beide kennen den Franziskusweg aus eigener Wandererfahrung.

Schritt für Schritt zum Glück

Zoe, Künstlerin und Yoga-Expertin, flüchtet aus Kalifornien nach Frankreich. Martin, Technikfreak aus England, will den von ihm entwickelten Wanderkarren für Rückengeschädigte einem Praxistest unterziehen. Als sie sich auf dem Jakobsweg begegnen, sind sie erst mal ganz schön genervt voneinander. Aber schräge Reisegefährten, Wetter- und Seelenkatastrophen und die Kapriolen des Wanderkarrens schweißen zusammen. Werden Martin und Zoe, grundverschieden wie sie sind, auf dem Camino einen gemeinsamen Weg finden? Ein Hörbuch über Neuanfang und Sinnsuche, übers Wandern und Zu-sich-selbst-Finden und darüber, wie wir mit einem Lächeln Erfüllung finden. Christiane Marx und Oliver Kube sind Schauspieler, Hörbuchsprecher und auch im wirklichen Leben ein Paar. Auf dem Jakobsweg waren sie allerdings noch nicht unterwegs. Bisher.
