Praise for She Too:

‘A page-turner that asks urgent questions about truth and the corrosive power of privilege’ - Jacqueline Maley

Romola Cross returns in Eve’s second novel, Smother in March (Echo Publishing). Smother is a riveting story about chasing dreams and how the quest for victory can risk losses far beyond those on the scoreboard. It’s a story about the forces of love, ambition and fear and finding the right balance before it all comes undone. A private school in a leafy Melbourne suburb is a place for winners. Its boys football program has a reputation for pumping out superstars. But when its girls team pushes for glory, sixteen-year-old Grace Dooley is left with a catastrophic brain injury and her parents want someone held accountable.

Praise for Smother:

‘A clever legal thriller with a heart as big as the characters in the story. Original in the telling and superbly written, Smother will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page’ - Tim Ayliffe, author of Dark Desert Road (Echo January 2026).
