The Joy & Terror of having your Book reviewed

Thousands of books are published each month so getting your book reviewed at all is worthy of popping the champagne cork.

Seeing a review of The Sunday Story Club (written with co-author Doris Brett) in The Age & SMH on Saturday was exciting. Then came the terror. WHAT WILL THEY SAY?

I read the review holding my breath. Then I had to read it again because I was too terrified for the words to register.

Hallelujah! The short review (below) by Fiona Capp was terrific. I could breathe again.

What is the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do?

We wrote The Sunday Story Club to show others how to facilitate good, authentic and vulnerable conversation. We live in an era when, even in a face-to-face conversation, the person opposite you may not be listening. You know what they are doing. They are scrolling through emails or text messages on their phone.

Sick of chitchat, we started our Sunday Story Club to encourage a deeper conversation. The results were so uplifting and moving we wanted to share both some of the stories and also how to run your own story salon so others can experience this magic too.
