Off the page, the Zimbabwe-born author is embarking on a journey of her own.
Clark is set to tour several regional libraries in the last week of May, including Tatura, Nagambie, Cobram, Yarrawonga, Numurkah, Shepparton and Murchison, to launch her latest novel.
Song of the Starlings is a heart-pounding narrative in which Curtis Wilson, a frantic father, enlists the aid of Rowan Zackery, an American private investigator, to rescue his daughter from unknown captors.
The story unfolds over Africa’s sweeping landscapes, turning the search for the young girl, Akina, into a race against time.
Desperate and out of his depth, Rowan seeks help from Chrystal Booysen, a South African former security contractor with a troubled past.
As the search intensifies, the stakes skyrocket with the limitless threat of violence dancing around their heads, death included.
But Rowan doesn’t want to find yet another dead body.
Can Akina be saved, or is it too late?
Page-turner: Song of the Starlings is a thrilling novel featuring a kidnapped child, an ex-security contractor and a private eye.
It’s a novel rich in weighty themes, yet Song of the Starlings appeals to readers across generations, showcasing Clark’s literary versatility.
Aside from being a riveting writer, Clark is a Queensland Literary Award nominee, a Children’s Book Council Notable and co-ordinator of the Children and Young Adults Writers’ Conference in Brisbane.
In the Goulburn Valley, attendees of her forthcoming tour will meet Clark, delve into her newest novel and uncover the author’s creative process.
