Store Description

I have been a book lover for many years and enjoyed collecting books as a hobby. But downsizing has meant a re-think of my library and I've decided to sell my books. It breaks my heart to part with some of these, but I don't expect my children or grandchildren to feel the same way about these books as I do. I am also an author, and write as Pippa Kay. I have published three books, and was excited to win the Society of Women Writers NSW Fiction Award a collection of short stories called, Keeping it in the Family in 2018.
