10 JUNE 2026 - Author Visit: Fleur McDonald

Wednesday 10th June 2026



With 27 fiction novels and more than 1,000,000 book sales to her name, bestselling crime author Fleur McDonald has always had a strong affinity with the land and the vast Australian outback.

Raised in Orroroo, South Australia, Fleur loves the open roads, red dust and magical sunsets. She has built a strong following of loyal readers with an insatiable appetite for her craft and characters, most notably Detective Dave Burrows.

She spends much of her year behind the wheel, traversing our big country, scouting inspiration and potential storylines for future books, and appearing as a guest speaker at a range of events, including country shows, ladies’ days and writers’ festivals.

A trailblazer in all aspects of her life, Fleur has been a jillaroo farming the land for more than 20 years, founded DVassist to help regional dwellers access crucial support for family and domestic violence, and raised two children with developmental and speech delays, teaching them Makaton sign language to communicate.

These days, in between putting out two books a year, she has her sights set on learning to fly a plane. Fleur lives in Esperance, Western Australia with her two children, Rochelle and Hayden, who come and go as they please and an energetic border collie Shadow.

Come along to talk all things crime fiction, life, writing styles & grab a copy of Fleur's books for yourself to have her sign on the night!
