Shattering Stereotypes
This is the blog that turned into a Salon that turned into a book called The Sunday Story Club.
We wrote the book to not only share some of the stories but to also show you how to run your own Salon.

We like to use quotes from famous writers or philosophers as if they are the only people who reflect on life.
The quote above is by ex-model Yolanda Hadid, star of the reality TV show, The Real Wives of Beverley Hills.
We all carry stories within us. THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB (PanMac) is the book group without books where you share your own stories of love, loss, trauma & triumph BOOKTOPIA.
This is one of the real-life stories of breaking up with a friend from The Sunday Story Club.
In Foster’s 1909 novella, The Machine Stops, people communicate via glowing screens but live lonely, isolated lives. His dystopian world has become our reality. We wrote The Sunday Story Club as an antidote to screens.
My co-author Doris Brett & I were overwhelmed with the enthusiasm for our book THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB (PanMac), @The Happiness Conference in Sydney on Mon. There seems to be a hunger out there for open and honest conversations. This is one theme of the book, which we wrote as an antidote to all those FAKE online personas. (Yes! Irony alert! I’m online here.)
Not only do we share stories from our salon, we also show you how to run your own salon so you can benefit from deeper connections with others.
The Sunday Story Club begins:
“Ironically, considering how strongly we advocate face-to-face contact, the two of us met online. It was 2014 and Doris had just published a memoir, The Twelfth Raven, recounting her husband Martin’s devastating stroke and extraordinary recovery. That same year I had established a website, Sibylesque, dedicated to breaking down the female stereotypes of age, size, marital status and so on.”
This is the Blog.
And this is the book.

When we started this blog, we never realised it would lead to a book. Fabulous!
