Second book signed with University of Queensland Press

Sally Piper

I have signed a publishing agreement for my second novel 'The Geography of Friendship', with University of Queensland Press. Publication is set for July 2018.

The UNESCO World Heritage listed Atomic Bomb Dome in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. The remains of this building were left to remind successive generations of the inhumanity of nuclear weapons and the need for a unified global effort in denuclearization to achieve lasting world peace. Still much work to be done🕊

Sake shenanigans in Kyoto with @tweak.and.grow et al

I know I’ve got another leg here somewhere.

Some of the many ascents of the Kumano Kodo Trail...and never spotted Frodo. #kumanokodo #japan #lovehiking

The perfect walking companion...values conversation as much as silence and never lost her good humour, even on the toughest parts of the Kumano Kodo Trail. #kumanokodo #japan #lovehiking

And I thought Expo 88 was just one big, long party like Brisbane had never seen before! This meticulously researched book brings to light everything that occurred before, beneath and beyond the site’s signature sails - the political personalities of the time that (often corruptly) allowed for it, the protesters who tried to stop it and the sense of mourning that followed Expo’s lights being switched off for the last time. I’m not surprised this book cleaned up at the recent Queensland Literary Awards, bringing @jackieryan_inc deserved literary cred just as Expo 88 brought a bit of cred to Brisbane. @uqpbooks #expo88

I love these early morning visitors. #kingparot #lovenature

This beautifully written book captures how a cancer diagnosis turns lives and emotions on their head. Dietrich examines those emotions head on and with a sharp eye and mind, approaching it from a philosophical, investigative and practical approach with her courage, honesty and determination present on every page. Few lives are untouched by cancer; this book helps readers navigate it with optimism and hope. #booksiloved @josephadietrich @uqpbooks

Not a bad Friday view. #springbrooknationalpark #warriecircuit

Survivor...despite, or because of, what’s been dumped on it.

Probably the biggest Huntsman spider I’ve seen. And the hairiest.🕷

Before I switched to video for the earlier post, my visitor had a good old nosey look through the window.

Nothing for it but to get wet feet on the trails today 🦆

I love the cover for the UK edition of The Geography of Friendship. And that little silhouette of the man is so perfectly, and creepily, placed. #Repost @legendpress with @get_repost ・・・ COVER REVEAL - thrilled to share with you the final cover for the UK edition of THE GEOGRAPHY OF FRIENDSHIP by @sally.piper.writer published by Legend Press on 1st February 2019 When three women set off on a hike through the wilderness they are anticipating the adventure of a lifetime. Over the next five days, as they face up to the challenging terrain, it soon becomes clear they are not alone. Lisa, Samantha and Nicole have known each other since school. Lisa is a fighter, Samantha a peacekeeper and Nicole a rule follower. United they bring out the best in one another. Only once it is too late for them to turn back do they appreciate the danger they are in. Their friendship is tested, and each of them must make a choice that will change their lives forever. #books #bookstagram #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #thegeographyoffriendship #bookish
