There’s a great article about me and JILTED in today’s West Australian (see below). The journalist was fabulous to talk to and very supportive of romance writing as she wants to write one herself. However, it’s always a risk when talking to a journalist that something will be misunderstood or misquoted. While this is a fab article, there’s one error! Can you guess what it is?
Fantastic, Rachael. Congratulations you non-mortal.
Thanks you
So this is the story of you and Craig? Kept that secret girl. What tv soap were you in???!!!!
LOL! I did always dream of being an actress though
Congrats!
Thanks!
Fab article you non-mortal!!! Love it!
The writer has you as a newsagency owner but then later notes you own a supermarket. I thought you and Craig own a supermarket (only). Also, I didnt think you lived in Kojonup for 6 years – I thought it was 2-3 years.
Congrats on a wonderful article – the small (incorrect) details don’t matter, the interviewer has done a really good job – IMHO.
BTW – hate the term “chook-lit” – urgh!!!!
Hi Joanne – I don’t mind chook-lit, although I’m yet to have chickens in one of my books
We were in Koji for six years (how time flies when you’re having fun) and we own the supermarket/newsagency in town. It’s the bit about writing about me and Craig that is wrong – it was actually writing about my high school boyfriend that got me hooked!
Oh yeah – the BF manuscript that will never see the light of day – LOL
An accidental author after 15 years of writing, huh? Whoops, I just got a book published!
It’s a good article, but I’m also one of the non-mortals who stays up late to write
LOL Juliet – I didn’t even think about that
Congrats, Rachael! I’d never heard the term “chook-lit” before here in America. What a nice article–and adorable picture!
Thanks Meggie – watch out for ”chook-lit” taking the US by storm soon
Mortal parent??? Does that mean you’re an immortal? Lol! You rock m’dear and that’s such a fabulous article!
I certainly don’t FEEL immortal Jackie
Great article, and I’d never heard of ‘chook-lit’ either.
Thanks Colleen! And chook-lit is the buzz word for rural lit lately it seems. Although hardly any of us rural writers have chickens in our books. Go figure
