Back in March 2017 I was lucky to have a two week residency at Varuna to work on my second novel The Mother Fault. I was, I remember, still reeling from my first book being out in the world and had that panicky breathlessness that often accompanies the writing of the second book.
I am so excited for this next book, Kate -- and I love your writing in this post, so tender and vulnerable and generous all at once, just like you. Thank you. What a gift you are.
Kate, congratulations!! Wonderful news. The new book sounds SO good. And, randomly, I just said to my kids this morning that I felt like a day trip to Warrnambool – so I’m hoping I can swing it and come along on the 28th! Would be lovely to meet you. xx
Just the hectic way I love it, Angela! But YES, my goodness it's been far too long x Hope to see you soon xx and thank you! I'm excited about this one!
