This is a review for the Australian Women Writers Challenge. The Fine Colour of Rust by P.A. O’Reilly. The genre? I’ll call it contemporary fiction with humour – truckloads of it.

And still the world turns
It was another glorious sunrise this morning and the first one in a few days I’ve been able to appreciate. I felt a twinge of sadness as it faded into the ordinary light of day.

Good news day
Yesterday was a very good day.

Celebrations were very low key Continue reading
