Milk Fever is released June 2010. Published by Pier 9, Murdoch Books.
In the misnamed town of Lovely, newcomer Julia Heath is struggling to adapt to life in the country, especially when she begins to suspect that her yoga-teacher husband is having an affair with the butcher’s wife.
But Julia soon falls under the spell of Tom, a handsome, if troubled, dairy farmer who experiences the world through extra-ordinary senses. When Julia’s husband sets out to cure Tom’s migraines and memory lapses all three lives become entwined and changed and Julia is forced to heal the wounds of her past and abandon all ideas of the perfect family.
Milk Fever is an uncommon romance. It is a novel of love, yearning, the fragility of modern family and forgiveness. And of how, despite our desire to remain separate, we are all incredibly precious, connected and, ultimately, necessary to each other.
10% of author royalties donated to Oxfam.

This sounds like a great read! I would LOVE to review it on my review site! Let me know what you think… 🙂
That would be wonderful. It’s quirky, it’s not Austen, but there is definitely a restrained yearning, one or two miracles, and love of the most feverish kind.
🙂
Great! I read widely, so quirkiness is always appreciated. 🙂 I could read a John Jakes novel one day and switch to Artemis Fowl or Tuck Everlasting in no time. Feel free to email me with the details and such:

There’s joy in diversity and quirkiness. You have wonderful taste in books btw but you probably knew that already.
I’ve passed the details onto the publisher as I only have old scribbled upon versions of the manuscript from pre-proofing days.
🙂
My lovely publisher is organising a hard copy for you. They should be in touch shortly.
That is wonderful, Lisa! I appreciate it! (And I agree with the other commentor, interview possibly?) 🙂
I’m game if you are…?
Definitely! Should I email you the questions at a specific address? 🙂
I can be emailed on: lisa@lisareecelane.com Look forward to answering questions with restraint, and wild abandon.
OK, on the wish list, then scheduled for review on blog, possibly with author interview… 😉
Well, I love author interviews, especially the ones with challenging questions!
Thanks for write comment on my blog.
I would love to read your book. Is there any chance i can get it in Indonesia?
I don’t think Milk Fever will be in the book stores in Indonesia, but you can get it online if you click on the link next to “to order milk”. It’s located just under the description of milk fever higher up on this page.

Hi Lisa, is your book going to be available on Amazon? I just tried looking for it but no luck! Ella
Hi Ella, that’s a good question. Um, I will find out for you. I will ask the publisher.

Great! 🙂
Lisa – Will your book be available in Canada/US anytime soon?
A splendid question. I certainly hope so, but at this stage it’s just in the Aussie bookstores. You can always get a copy through my website if you’re interested.
