Meeting Alex Tremayne changed Annie's life.
Losing him through a shocking farm accident shattered her.
Passage is the story of one woman, Annie Tremayne, and her journey through grief.
After Annie loses Alex, her husband and soulmate, she withdraws into the state of solitude that has always been her refuge.
Unsure how to move forward, she flounders, her dog and the imagined spirit of Alex by her side.
Set against the raw and angry beauty of Tasmania's east coast, Annie digs deep into her soul to begin the journey back from sorrow.
"What a beautiful book about loss and grief and learning to live again...a wonderfully moving novel." Cathy Kelly - number one bestselling author of contemporary fiction.
'I loved it. It's beautifully written...' Maggie Christensen, author of The Good Sister and The Oregon Series.
'Batten's writing is graceful and often poetic, but it addresses some of the deepest currents in human nature with wisdom and unflinching honesty. Highly recommended...' Amazon Review
'This book is lovely, full of joy and grief and hope; utterly real and authentic...' Amazon Review
I was born in Australia and studied history and politics at the University of Tasmania. I've worked as a hotel cleaner, a cosmetician in a major department store, a bookseller but most properly as a journalist/researcher for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation where I met my husband, also a journalist.
We now farm in Tasmania, growing the superfine wool for which Australia is famous. I spent almost ten years as a coordinator for the cancer therapy program Look Good Feel Better and time as a walker for Riding for the Disabled and for the local Dogs' Home. I have two adult children, two dogs, too much garden and maybe too little time to write.
I write both historical fiction for which Gisborne: Book of Pawns received an Honourable Mention in the 2012 Golden Claddagh Writing Contest, and historical fantasy for which A Thousand Glass Flowers received a silver medallion in the 2012 Readers' Favorite Book Awards.
I'm what the pundits call a 'niche' writer which means that both the fantasies and the historical fiction don't conform to pre-conceived concepts of their genres.
What better way to entice readers than to offer you a chance to read novels that are unique!
