This series just gets better and better. The Truthseeker sees the return of the Soulweavers, the Mother (although you might not recognise her), the Author and the new character the Truthseeker. Heidi Catherine’s imagination holds no bounds in this book : the reader visits a planet far away where humans are evolving into fish; then the journey continues back to Earth to the slums of Mumbai, to London and back again. The author’s sense of place is second to none – and I felt a connection to each setting I found myself in – and she is skilled at character-building.

There’s a sense of profoundness in this novel which, I believe, has grown in each of her novels – just as my belief in the power of souls has grown. Thank you Heidi Catherine for an excellent read, one I never wanted to put down, one I didn’t want to end and one I felt so happy to pick up to continue reading.

Heidi Catherine is an Australian author whose debut novel, The Soulweaver, won Romance Writers of Australia’s Emerald Pro award and was published by Crooked Cat Books. The Truthseeker is the second book in the series. The author is unable to decide if she prefers living in Melbourne or the Mornington Peninsula, so Heidi shares her time between both places. She is similarly pulled in opposing directions by her two sons and two dogs, remaining thankful she only has one husband.

Guest author Susan Roebuck is a British author who lives in Portugal. She was born and bred in the soft south of the UK but was exported to Portugal after meeting her husband in London. She now lives overlooking the mighty Tagus River which is a wonderful source of inspiration.

She loves being in her adopted country and believes that Portugal has a huge heart, which the world should know more about. Portugal also doesn’t appear in many English-language novels and Susan hopes that, now, that will change.
Her most recent novel, “Forest Dancer” is set in Portugal and published by Crooked Cat Books. It is available from Amazon:
