What Kate did Next

Courier Mail, Jan 9, 2010: "Full marks to Heidke who ekes out (What Kate did Next) into a whimsical tale without the sting. Working mums will smile in rueful recognition. A frothy read..."

West Australian, Jan 13, 2010: "Heidke's witty sophomore effort proves she's got the depiction of the domestic battleground down to a fine art."

Herald Sun, Feb 6, 2010: "The reader is swept along with Kate's adventures...verdict? Witty."

Lucy Springer Gets Even

The Sydney Morning Herald, Spectrum, February 7, 2009:   "This is a sprightly bit of chick-lit...it's well crafted and lively. It also contains some sharp insights, particularly into the personalities and anxieties of children and into the routes by which straying men can equivocate their way out of explaining their own behaviour or accepting responsibility for its consequences."

 "This pacy and funny novel is essentially plot driven...told in the first person, Lucy's story is genuinely witty."  Reviewer: Dianne Dempsey, The Age, Melbourne, January 17, 2009: 

Woman's Day, Jan 12, 2009: "Enjoy this sharp, snappy lesson in survival and success."

Australian Bookseller & Publisher Magazine: "Lucy Springer Gets Even perfectly fits the ‘mummy-lit’ mould by shining a light on the insanity and goodness of motherhood, all with a light, humorous and down-to-earth tone. ... I particularly enjoyed the parts when Lucy was dealing with the beautiful-yet-dumb talent on set and wouldn’t hesitate recommending this book for those wanting a light holiday read."  Reviewer: Rachel Wilson, academic and bookseller, Sun Bookshop, Yarraville

Trespass Magazine, Jan, 2009: "A hilarious tale about going against the odds and following your desires."

www.chicklitclub.com gives Lucy 8/10. "Join Lucy on her two month journey from disbelief and despair - to so much more!" 

 Allen & Unwin: “This delightful new novel is an often hilarious account of triumphing over adversity, following your dreams and listening to your heart.”
