New Idea – March 19, 2018

Award-winning

author Fiona

Lowe returns

with a

page-turning

family saga about deceit, betrayal

and revenge.

The Jamiesons are a wealthy

family from the heart of Victoria’s

high country but matriarch

Margaret’s health is deteriorating

and the family are brought

together by the promise of

wealth thanks to an inheritance.

However, will the family’s

long-held secrets and childhood

rivalries threaten to ruin them?

The seemingly perfect suburb of

Pleasant Court is intrigued when

mysterious newcomer Isabelle turns

up. Isabelle seems just as curious

about her neighbours – maybe

too curious.

It soon

becomes clear

Isabelle is in

town for

a reason and

it will bring

to light the

town’s secrets.

W

ith filming

of the next

season of

The Block

underway

and plans to renovate a

holiday rental of her own,

Shelley Craft certainly has

a lot on her plate, but her

most important role is

motherhood.

She lives in Byron Bay with

her cameraman hubby, Christian

Sergiacomi and their adorable

daughters, Milla, seven, and

Eadie, five. And while Shelley

loves every minute of being

a mum, she isn’t planning on

expanding her happy brood

anytime soon.

‘No, no more kids. We are

done and dusted,’ Shelley reveals

to New Idea. ‘I’m very happy

with the little [girls] that

we’ve got and with one giant

dog, our house is full.’

‘I know my limitations and

one more would tip me over

the edge,’ she jokes.

‘Like renovations, you’ve

got to be realistic with what

you can handle and two girls

is plenty for me.’

Of course, being a mum to

two gorgeous girls, makes

Shelley the perfect choice to be

a Disney On Ice ambassador.

This year celebrates 100

years of Disney magic and the

show-stopping performance will

feature all your favourite Disney

tales, from Beauty And The Beast

to Toy Story.

Shelley has a long history

with Disney, starting out her

career as the bubbly and
