Oh, Mavis! What a shock! And you´ve done so much for CH through your writing about the place and its hidden treasures. Best of luck and a good future in Provence. I´ll email you.

And thank you so much for this site and for putting in all those links. Well, I don’t know if I belong anywhere anymore. Maybe I’m just a kangaroo in Austria (despite what they say on the local tourist t-shirts that there are no kangaroos in Austria) or an Austr(al)ian. I’m proud to have work in the charity anthologies – it’s maybe a writer’s way of contributing to relief efforts not only through funds raised but through words that might touch or amuse or provide a different sort of relief.

Really appreciate hearing your story of coming to writing later in life, and reading the passion that you have for it. Your attitude is especially exciting – you sound free and enjoying a life you love.

Didn’t know about charity anthologies – and you’re in quite a few! We added the links for you, and the added support for those projects. You have such a rich international life with being Australian but living in Austria.
