Karen Blair and I got to headline the WA Day celebrations in Fremantle a couple of years ago. We called our talk 'A Book From Nowhere' and Karen brought Eve to life in front of the audience's eyes.
For more about the book go to the 'Books' page or you might like to have a look at my blog. There are a whole lot of blogs filed under 'roadhouse posts' where I tell you about the year that inspired the story. Even I can't believe I once managed a roadhouse in the middle of the Nullarbor Plain!
Hello From Nowhere is about Eve who thinks that living in the middle of nowhere is better than living anywhere else in the world.
