Fiction
The war may be officially over, but journalist Billie Walker’s search for a missing young immigrant man will plunge her right back into the danger and drama she thought she’d left behind in Europe in this thrilling tale of courage and secrets set in glamorous postwar Sydney. Out May 2020.
A cracking thriller, with a marvellous, strong, flamboyant heroine. Loved it.

A terrific read.

![What does self-love and self-care mean to you? I wrote a chapter on Self-Care in my eleventh book, Speaking Out, and focused on vicarious trauma and the self-care needed to continue living in a world that can be demanding and tough. The practice of self-care means even more to me now than it did as a non-disabled woman. But ‘self-care’ and ‘self-love’ have also been more recently taken up as a slogans for consumerism, as if it is a philosophy of buying things and services. (It is not.) Self-care was coined by Audre Lorde, who wrote in A Burst of Light and Other Essays, ‘Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.’ YES.
Caring for oneself is essential. Self-care, as a health care term, describes something necessary for human functioning. But what do most people associate the term with now? Audre Lorde’s important work, the essential need to care for yourself (something I will fight for till my dying breath), or vacuous brand slogans?
Is the term useful to you? .
