Disgraceful
(2026)
“Sometimes bad mistakes are the best ones you can make."
​
49-year-old Grace Miller is the ultimate good girl. Good wife, good mother, good role model. She’s had to be, she’s been married to a high-profile Christian Evangelist for nearly thirty years. When her seemingly-perfect marriage unexpectedly implodes very publicly, she realises she’s been on her best behaviour for decades—and she's had enough...

“Whip smart, hilarious and brimming with intrigue. I devoured Dead Famous in one sitting!”

Praise & Reviews
"In McLeod's Tryst, a first-person piece that won the 2011 Josephine Ulrick Literature Prize (as Rachael S. Morgan), we are taken into the tenderness and confusion of a rite-of-passage experience. McLeod's word-perfect story carries incendiary power, with each emotional shift balanced precisely. The bitter irony is a little like the enduring last line of Sherwood Anderson's haunting I Want to Know Why. McLeod leaves us with the ashen taste of a loss of innocence."
Christopher Bantick
The Australian
"Dead Famous is a side-splittingly witty rollercoaster ride through every woman's Hollywood daydreams. Kat Alley is who I want to be when I don't grow up!”
