The Goddess in Blue Gumboots by Ruth Punton

It is six years since I last posted but here I am again to reintroduce my novel The Goddess in Blue Gumboots which is now available as an eBook though Smashwords.com


 This is an Australian feminist fantasy novel.

In the glorious southwest bush region of Western Australia neighbouring women take the world by storm. Meet Ana, atheistic paediatrician turned protea grower, Elsie, a fallen RC prostitute turned millionaire, Teresa, a practising RC, gossipy dairy farmer who would rather be a ballet dancer, Jane, a convicted murderer and meditative painter who wanted to be a Buddhist nun, Sophia, a zoologist researching the mating habits of ring-tailed possums and an foul-mouthed, recalcitrant, abused twelve-year old genius who knits.

 Mix them up, add Arua, the Goddess of Women in a bright-white light on a rainbow, and what does the world get? A social phenomenon? A new religion? A political movement? A safe haven? A war? Take your choice.
