About Hazel Buchanan: I make my living teaching music, from which I derive a great deal of pleasure. I am an oboist, and for me there is no greater buzz than playing beautiful, rousing music from the heart of a Symphony Orchestra; except, that is, for the buzz of writing a novel. Writing is my passion. I grew up in the south east of England and emigrated to Australia after graduating with a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Bristol. I live in the mountains of northern New South Wales … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Hazel Buchanan

Interview with Author – Ella Carmichael
About Ella Carmichael: I was born in Ireland in the 1960's, but only toyed with writing when I was young. Toyed might be too kind. I goofed about with a pen and paper when I was a child and teenager, but never wrote anything longer than a silly poem. You really have to fight for your dreams in this life, and I didn't fight for mine. The thought of doing so never even crossed my mind back then. What inspires you to write?
