I've spent a goodly number of happy summer days catching up on my reading: Salman Rushdie, Jhumpa Lahiri, Emily Bitto, Peter Weiringa, Peter Carey. And I still have the new Jonathon Franzen on my bedside table.
My garden is looking great, thanks to good neighbours. Recently. my niece gave me a tea-towel with this wonderful saying of Cicero. 'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.' That sums it up for me.
Since its release, I've received many wonderful responses from readers of Mercy Street, some of them through this web-site. It's a feeling like no other to know that the book is being read and your characters cared about, not only by friends and family, but readers from all over Australia. Books and stories connect us, the community of readers and writers.
