  I was expecting a story about Moose in the north but found the book to be an interesting story about a tragedy happening to several families in the north. The books keeps your interest but I found the end to be a surprise. Well written book depicting things that could happen to anyone living in Northern Ontario

  Austin has written a not so simple story, weaving the lives of multiple residents on Moose Road around one tragic accident that leaves no one on the road or in the nearby Northern Ontario Canada town untouched. The subplots tug at our desire to comfort some residents of this town with a hug and those same subplots yank at our exasperation switch yelling at us to slap sense into some of these same people. The main story cries for our attention and gets it.

  Austin is able to show us one tragedy from every point of view except the moose. The characters are so real that I wonder what Austin's neighbors thought about having their secret lives dragged into the public view.  To heck with the chores, I finished the book in one sitting.

Several of my poems have been published by White Mountain Publications and The Ontario Poetry Society. My first book of poetry titled "Poetry from A to Z" is now available in both paperback and kindle editions.

POartRY and PROSE contains a merging of my passions which are writing and painting folk art.

SARA, a Canadian Saga

 SARA, a Canadian Saga was my very first novel. My story was published by Wynterblue Publishing Company in North Bay several years ago, yet it still holds its own on Amazon sites. If you haven't read it yet, I hope you will check it out. I will never forget the thrill of having my first novel published. SARA is available in Kindle, Paperback, and Audiobook formats on all Amazon sites.

Sara, a Canadian Saga

by Audrey Austin (Author), Susan Krupp (Illustrator) Format: Paperback

3.3 3.3 out of 5 stars (33)

The time is 1916. Sara is a 10 year old girl in rural Prince Edward Island. Roy is a 10 year old boy in mining town, Nova Scotia. Through their eyes we see, feel and experience their childhood challenges. We follow them through adolescence and their turbulent teen years. We celebrate their courtship and suffer their lost innocence in the wedding ritual. They take us through the Great Depression and share with us the frustrations, dreams and challenges they face in adulthood. As parents they introduce us to their children. This story appeals to all ages because Sara and Roy hold up a mirror and ask the reader to recognize truth about the human condition for many Canadian families through difficult economic times. We witness love that does not come neatly wrapped and experience the quiet, sometimes desperate, drama of lives unfolding.

THE OBSERVER - His Eye is on the Sparrow

 THE OBSERVER – His Eye is on the Sparrow is a story told by three generations of women; Karina, Anna, and Karen. I was privileged to meet these women throughout my NaNoWriMo writing experience in November of 2019. Three women, yet two souls, share their experiences. The story begins with Karina in Bangalore, India. She makes the challenging move to Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada and is overjoyed when her daughter, Anna is born. Time passes and sadly, Karina dies. Three days after Karina’s death, Anna’s daughter, Karen is born. Anna realizes that Karen is her grandmother all over again. Is this possible? Certainly, Karen believes that it is.These three women bless us with their understanding, knowledge, and experience of the Christian and the Hindu religions. Each woman lives her own separate life; has her own personal struggles; yet family patterns repeat. Karen’s search for authenticity enriches the story and, yes, a beautiful love story is woven throughout the pages.
