Author Talk: @victoria_brownlee @morningtonpeninsulalibraries
Friday, 03 July 2026 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Join author, writer and editor Victoria Brownlee in conversation with local author, Rebecca Fraser, as she discusses her new suspense novel "The Writers Retreat".
Welcome to The Writers Retreat - a creative haven for writers to hone their plotlines and sharpen their characters while soaking up the Provencal atmosphere. But this year`s retreat offers something different, as real-life blurs with fiction, and suspense isn`t contained to the page. A wickedly twisty and atmospheric thriller set at a writers` retreat in the South of France.
Victoria Brownlee is an international food writer and editor, currently based in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. She started writing about food over a decade ago, first as a blogger and then as the Food & Drink Editor at Time Out Shanghai. Her novels include Fromage à Trois, Brioche in the Oven and Eat Your Heart Out.

A taut, twisty thriller where truth and betrayal collide, it`s already creating plenty of buzz.

The days may be colder and gloomier, but our shelves are full of warmth.
Come in, slow down, and get lost in a good book.
