Digging for dinosaur bones can get complicated

​

Digging for dinosaur bones in the Aussie outback gets complicated when a helicopter pilot with a heart of gold messes up Jo's plans.

​

Joanna spends her days digging up dinosaur fossils in the Queensland outback, dreaming of one day leading her own excavation team. When she saves a kid from a runaway excavator, she has no idea she’ll be getting a golden ticket in the mail to attend a flash party on New Year’s Eve in Sydney’s glamourous harbour. A ticket for her ... plus one.

​

She’s living in a tent. She doesn’t own a dress.

​

She definitely doesn’t have a plus one. But somehow, at the stroke of midnight, she’s going to find herself with a happy new ending.

UPDATE 23/8/2024: This novella is the inspiration for my 2024 release for Harper Collins HQ Fiction title, Down the Track, which is now out :)
