Petronella McGovern writes psychological thrillers focusing on everyday characters and contemporary issues. Her latest book, The Liars, is a family drama wrapped up in a murder mystery. Her debut novel, Six Minutes, was shortlisted for Australian awards. Her second novel, The Good Teacher, is set on the sparkling beaches of Sydney, and is popular with book clubs. Petronella grew up in a large family on a farm in New South Wales. Australian landscapes and the bush feature strongly in her stories. She is fascinated by people - what makes us tick, how we view the world, and the lies we tell others and ourselves. She's interested in the complexities of relationships and the dynamics in families. She has also co-written two non-fiction books - a travelogue of the 1960s, For Love and a Beetle with Ivan Hodge; and an Olympic memoir, Trailblazers: Australia's First Olympic Equestrians with Wyatt Thompson.
