Sixteen hundred kilos of German engineering, enough alcohol to preserve a dead wallaby, and a crazy woman who's in possession of both? How's Brenda going to escape this time?

It's 1977 and the height of the sexual revolution when we join Brenda in Surfers Paradise, Australia. Enter a world of gold bikinis, lots of sunshine, and no regrets. It's also where a man can be viewed as attractive because of the size of his wallet. At least in Brenda's eyes.

Okay, so Hilton isn't the only thing stopping her from being hungry and homeless. But working as a famous Surfers Paradise Meter Maid to make ends meet hadn't been high on her list of life goals, either.

And while she'll happily strut around town in a gold lamé bikini, tiara, and sash, doing so while wearing gold platform shoes has her feet crying out for relief. If it wasn't for the excellent opportunities it provided for spotting potential 'meal tickets', she'd have given it up long ago.

'Heels and a Tiara' is a prequel novella to Andrene Low's That Seventies Series, and is Brenda's unfiltered story. It unapologetically delves into the gritty underbelly of the Gold Coast, taking you on a journey you won't soon forget.

It's also a gateway read, in that if you can cope with this, you'll be okay with the others in this series.
