'Michaela Betrayed' is the ninth work published by Australian author, Margaret Lynette Sharp. The heroine, Michaela, is a young and gifted music student, the recipient of a prestigious scholarship, compelled to choose between staying with her first love and apparent soulmate, Thomas, and crossing the globe to pursue her academic and professional ambitions. What part of those ambitions are truly her own, and what part submission to the desires of her parents, Michaela isn't sure. Her father, whose own career as a concert pianist was cut short by a disabling accident, is certainly determined to see that Michaela goes on to perform in his stead. Unexpected developments both back in Australia and in her new home in London, lead to conflict, intrigue and a battle on several fronts, not least of which is that of her own heart. Also included in this volume is a selection of romantic vignettes and lengthier stories taken from Margaret's previously published (and well- reviewed) titles.

'Encore' is the sixth collection of Australian Short Stories written by Sydney author Margaret Lynette Sharp, and edited by her husband Ronald William Sharp, the creator of the Grand Organ in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House. In common with her previous works, 'Encore' contains a selection of mainly romantic tales, overwhelmingly positive in theme. The author's favourites include 'At Sixteen: Annie's Story', 'To the Beautiful Brigitte', and 'The Locket'. Comprising twenty-five stories, this is a highly readable, attractively presented volume.

. This is the story of a marriage rocked by fate as a young couple struggle against family and other difficulties and, above all, their own ambivalence. The bride, Amelia, is proud of her career advances, and delighted that this paves the way for a move, far away from her demanding mother-in-law. But unhappily, circumstances contrive to destabilize the couple's new life together. This title is a compelling look at life through Amelia's eyes as she struggles with a difficult decision, and the unexpected consequences of her call.
