I'm still working on book 2, and its proving a challenge, but in a good way - I think! Eric, I think there's an immediacy about experiencing country towns that is not present in the city; you can't be anonymous. Even as a visitor in a strange place, I'm more aware of myself than when I'm in a crowd in the city, and far more aware of others. I wonder about their stories, where they belong in the community, and in the land. Relationships between land, people, town have histories, and I get a much stronger sense of that in a country town than in a city. Definitely inspiring! azteclady, I do hope you enjoy the rest of the book, when you finally get it! I’m still working on book 2, and its proving a challenge, but in a good way – I think!

It’s as if I’m being invited to trip though your world, chaperoned by a local. Country towns contain spokes and a hub. The hub nurtures a soul. The substance and depth of that soul must surely be measured by the same distance from needed to travel to find an internationalizing outlet (McDonalds, etc). You bring your writing to life on the back of rich experience, a wonderful treat, for a reader, it wets the appetite for the main serving. (Thank you) ---- Eric Bronwyn, —- I love your blogs.

I didn't mention it in the entry post, but I came here via Wendy SuperLibrarian's review. However, after reading the first chapter, I'm chomping at the bit to get this one on your writing's merits alone. And can I tell you that I'm very intrigued by the second book's synopsis you've posted? :grin: Thank you for this glimpse into rural Australia for those of us on the other side (well, sorta) of the globe.
