To answer your question, I feel as if I was always a writer - I was one of those kids who was always scribbling stories. then when I got older I started sending off short stories to magazines and got a few published and won a couple of prizes. This brought me an agent and then I started working on longer manuscripts, and it all flowed from there.A latte beckonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967372772145537800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773539610706998068.post-42758483882962008122012-02-08T13:46:05.663+11:002012-02-08T13:46:05.663+11:00Dear Kate,

I hope things are better for you now. I'm especially glad that you liked Winter of Grace, because not so many people have read that one! Good luck with your own writing, let me know how you get on.<br />All the best,<br />KateA latte beckonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967372772145537800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773539610706998068.post-48934222017379722872012-02-08T05:30:54.300+11:002012-02-08T05:30:54.300+11:00Dear Kate,

Your writing is inspirational and beautiful, I am in love with so many of your books, 'Winter of Grace,' was astounding, and'the Singer of All songs' breath taking, read it in 2days flat, i couldnt put it down. I hope that you read this, because getting a comment back from you would mean the world to me. You are my hero, and i can only aspire to be even half as brilliant as you are. Thank you, your books saved me in so many ways, i have had a hard time lately and being consumed in your books brings me out of my situation, even if just for a while. Please respond. <br />~Maddy <br />age 12Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773539610706998068.post-57913851621446401242011-11-21T11:04:23.335+11:002011-11-21T11:04:23.335+11:00That's so true, Sandra -- but still, a la The ...That's so true, Sandra -- but still, a la The Slap, it's MY Melbourne, and I'm going to enjoy it!A latte beckonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967372772145537800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773539610706998068.post-21797709261466643102011-11-19T15:50:30.324+11:002011-11-19T15:50:30.324+11:00My friend Bridget went to John Gardner High and he...My friend Bridget went to John Gardner High and her brother Xander was in Sophie's year.
