Fiona Lowe

Having spent her early years in Papua New Guinea, where without TV, reading was her main source of entertainment and it set her up for a lifelong love of books. One of her first teenage rebellions was refusing to go for a hike with her parents since she was half way through “Gone With the Wind”. While an adult, she read her way around the world, always attempting to read something that related to where she was at the time: Jane Austen in Bath, “The Godfather” while in Italy, the Brontes while in Yorkshire, Michener in Hawaii, and son.

The best place to start is the Air Rescue series, the earliest of Fiona Lowe's multi-book series: it opens with Airborne Emergency (2005) and runs to 7 books across 2005–2006, ending with The Flight Doctor's Engagement (2006). Fiona Lowe's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.

Fiona Lowe has 69 books catalogued in this guide, published between 1966 and 2026. 41 of them belong to 7 named series — the largest being the Sydney Harbor Hospital series with 10 books — and 28 are standalone titles, collections or anthologies.
