Every woman wants to look beautiful, doesn't she? That's the idea fixed in the minds of a photographic team as they fly into Tibet to take stunning photos for a big cosmetic company's ad campaign. But soon their hunt for great shots turns into a tougher sort of quest. Four people who think they've got it made suddenly find themselves adrift in an arid land. Potent legend and sacred symbolism conspire to ensnare them. And they must decide just what sort of people they are. Fast and vivid, funny and tender, LIPSTICK IN THE DUST puts an original spin on what we mean by that small but powerful word: beauty. In her journalism career Lindsey Dawson created and edited three national magazines in NZ but she left the corporate life to become a writer of fiction and non-fiction books. This is her second novel. An interior design guide and her first novel, Angel Baby, were published in 1995, followed by a personal growth book in 2001 -- Pearls: Words of Wisdom from the Ocean of Life. A judge of the 2002 Montana New Zealand Book Awards, she writes columns for two magazines, voices a weekly commentary spot on National Radio, does much public speaking and runs seminars on 'how to live a life more luscious'.
