Melbourne, 1970 – bustling, cosmopolitan and undeniably exciting for a young woman fresh from the Apple Isle. But beneath the veneer of a city on the move is a sinister underbelly of cops on the take, standover thugs and illegal gambling dens into which a confident but naïve Constance O’Hara unwittingly falls.
Stuck in a spiral of crime and violence, Constance’s attempts to break free result in a brutal attack…and the belief she has killed her assailant.
Hunted and in constant fear for her life, Constance assumes a new identity and flees across the continent to Western Australia’s Goldfields to start a new life. But the past has long shadows and when her old life catches up with her, Constance must fight to save herself, the life she has created and those she loves.
Editorial Review: From the Derwent to Lygon Street to the dust and flies of Kalgoorlie and the deep loam of the Swan Valley, K.A. Hudson has created an enthralling story with a wonderfully authentic and likable main character, whose plight grips our hearts and seizes our attention. Hudson’s sense of the dramatic, as well as her feel for the Australian character and landscape makes this an irrepressible read. – Eddie Albrecht, Pickawoowoo Publishing Group.

The 1970's in Australia was a politically volatile era, with demonstrations and grassroot protests around the Vietnam war, fantastic rock music and bell-bottoms, the rise of disco and social change, but it was also an era of economic struggle, cultural change and technological innovation. The underbelly criminal life in Melbourne thrived unchecked. The perfect era for my characters to emerge from the depths of my mind and forge a new and exciting life.

What Doug finds in the secret compartment of his new red Corvette will forever change both his and Catherine’s life. Doug and Catherine come from two different worlds. Catherine’s world is one of privilege and wealth. Doug grew up dirt poor and full of envy of others who had the things that he wanted but could not have. His goal was to one day have all the things he coveted. Their worlds collide when Catherine, VP of a large New York City marketing firm, hires Doug. As soon as Doug learns of Catherine’s wealth, he sees Catherine as his ticket to all the things he covets. After a whirlwind courtship, they are married.
Poor boy meets rich girl should have resulted in happily ever after — not exactly. Doug quickly learns he also covets independence. Events begin to unfold in each of their lives.

When Catherine enters the beautiful and serene lodge, it’s as though she is entering another place and time. The lodge is an escape from the nightmare she is living back home.
Authors Note: The Osprey Cove Lodge series is uniquely written, spanning seven geographic locations from the scenic Canadian region of the Rideau lakes to the beautiful shores of the Caribbean. An interesting web of mystery develops as the characters’ lives intertwine. The Osprey Cove Lodge series setting was born from my love of the beauty of this region in Canada. The description of the lodge is so beautiful and inviting that you will want to pack your bags and head there. The series is written in a continuing fashion; please be sure to read the books in the order written.

Temporarily Out of Luck is the third book in the Hattie Cooks mysteries. I wrote Temporarily Employed as a result of a car game while on a road trip. My friend asked questions and we'd answer, like: Pick one-Englebert Humperdink or Tom Jones. Then she asked us to write the opening paragraph of a book using the word "window." I had nothing-nothing. My friend knew I wanted to write and I suspected that was why she asked the question. Anyway, the next day at home, I sat down at the family computer and wrote eight chapters! Who knew? I tinkered for a couple of weeks and finally found the courage to show my friend. She read the pages, passed them back, and said, "Keep going." I did.
The mystery begins with an unusual find in the secret compartment of Doug’s new Corvette, changing his and Catherine’s life forever. Doug’s mysterious behavior afterward forces Catherine to escape to The Osprey Cove Lodge, where she finds something even more valuable. The series is uniquely written, spanning seven geographic locations, from the scenic Canadian region of the Rideau Lakes to the beautiful shores of the Caribbean. An exciting web of mystery develops as the characters’ lives intertwine. The description of the lodge is so inviting that you will want to pack your bags and head there.
