Nicole Alexander is the bestselling author of 11 historical fiction novels.  Titles that include 'The Bar Cutter', 'Sunset Ridge' and 'The Cedar Tree'. 

As a freelance writer, Nicole's articles have appeared widely in publications like The Sydney Morning Herald, ABC Online, The Sunday Telegraph and Elle Magazine Australia. 

'The Last Station' is Nicole's new novel. Released by Penguin earlier this year, it's a sweeping saga depicting the harshness of life on the land in 19th century New South Wales.  A story set in the dying days of the riverboat trade along the Darling River. 

Captivating, heartbreaking but not without humour, I was enthralled by this glimpse into a by-gone era. 

Loved my chat with Nicole recorded a little while back.
