I left Cairns at 6 am and the temperature was twelve degrees. At 12.30 pm I landed in Melbourne and it was still twelve degrees! Nothing like consistency! The skies were blue, the winds were light, the taxi driver was a Greek gentleman with a fantastic sense of humour. Melbourne was showering me with her charm.
By 1.30 pm I was drinking champagne with my lovely agent, Clare Foster, (and yes that means there’s good news, but more of that later!) and enjoying being a writer.
By 3.00 pm, Margareta Osborn and I were swapping writing stories. There’s nothing quite like getting together with another writer. The conversation goes something like -‘Really? You do that too? Wow, I thought I was the only one that felt that? Really? Your editor said that too?’
I call it terminal uniqueness.  We writers are just as insecure about our work as any other artist and it’s wonderful to be reminded that we’re not alone on this journey  🙂
Thanks, Brenda 🙂
Something sounds exciting there Helene 😉 Glad you had a good time…
Thanks, Cath. Melbourne was very kind!
And congratulations to you on being nominated for the Lynne Wilding award – a well deserved honour!!
Well, it’s a little more than that, Sandy 🙂
Thanks, Shelleyrae!
YAY!!! I am looking forward to the official good news!
Your gonna have to do better than that, Helene. Define ‘Sales are doing well for Burning Lies’ that requires a champagne toast. Are we talking best seller here? :))
Oh, I am so pleased to hear your sales are doing well. That is the best news 🙂
What gorgeous photos. Glad Melbourne looked after you – except with the temperature!!
Cath xo
Good news? Did I say good news????
Ok, maybe I did…
Sales are doing well for Burning Lies 🙂

HELENE – how can you slip in that there’s good news coming and not TELL us!!!? Sigh! Glad you had a fab time though 🙂
