G’day :)
I’m very excited to announce my guest today, the amazingly talented and down-to-earth Australian Author, Ian Parkes. I'm presently half way through reading Ian’s biographical book,A Youth Not Wasted, and I’m hooked. He had me hungry to learn of his adventurous life in the outback from the get go.
This is a snippet of his prologue, which when I read it, moved me beyond anything I have read in the rural genre thus far… ‘I lay lightly on my back, looking up, feeling the earth’s weight beneath me, observing the infinite firmament above through the thin veil of foliage. |

G'day!
Hope you all had a fabulous christmas day filled with love and laughter. I had a wonderful day, shared with my precious family. It is so nice to celebrate Christmas, the running around like a headless chook for the weeks leading up to the day well worth the effort.
Today we have the vibrant Loretta Hillas our guest on Awesome Aussie Authors. Loretta is a new comer to the rural genre. Her debut novelGirl in the Steel-Capped Bootswill be released on January 2nd. I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy. |

G’day! Only 4 more sleeps and Christmas is upon us. How exciting! I adore Christmas and all that it brings. It is an occasion where you can spend quality time with your family and friends, you have the right to eat copious amounts of gloriously fattening foods and everyone’s spirits are on high. I hope you all have wonderful days planned with your loved ones. We will be enjoying a pig on the spit with our family and friends and I can’t wait!  Today we have the awesomely talented and super successful |

Gday! :-) Hope your week has been full of good times! (great song by Alan Jackson!) I can feel the scorching summer weather beginning to fade away, replaced by the crisp autumn breeze that stirs my curtains and holds with it the promise of winter. I adore winter in Dimbulah. We actually get to wear our jumpers for a whole two months, if we are lucky! Today I have the talentedFleur McDonald, a fellow rural fiction author, here to answer a few questions about herself and her life as a best selling author and farmer. |

 G'day! Today I have Karly Lane , a fellow rural writer, here to answer a few questions about herself and her new book,North Star. Thanks Karly for being my guest blogger today. Being a mother to 4 children and also having a part time job, how do you find time for writing? For a long time I didn't, and then I just realized that like anything-if you don't do it, you never get any good at it. So I just made time. I write in ten minute snatches if I have to, but it's getting a bit easier now most of the kids are older. |

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day!  I have caught up with Fiona Palmer today, a fellow author from Penguin, and asked her a few questions. She is a fabulous lady and writes fantastic stories about the Australian country way of life. She is the best selling author of The family Farm and her second book, Heart of Gold, is hitting the shelves on february the 28th so make sure you grab yourselves a copy! Which authors inspired you most to begin writing? |
