I’m dropping in on Charlotte Nash and her resident lizard in Queensland
Hi Charlotte,
Thank you for letting me park my rig …
… half up on your kerb? (Hmm, not much room in this street) 😉
What’s that I see written on your ‘welcome mat’, Charlotte?
Beware the Lizard! (we have one that lives under our stairs – he’s got three legs and I love him)
The one thing I really miss in a caravan is my HUGE refrigerator. If I looked in your refrigerator right now, what would I find?
Water bottles, fruit, and lots of left-overs, awaiting the next cull!
Downsizing my life into a 24 ft caravan meant leaving lots of things behind in boxes. What (or who!!) would you have trouble leaving behind if you took off in a caravan?
Actually that sounds heavenly. ‘Stuff’ makes me anxious – I love a good clear-out! In fact, I’m in the middle of one right now. Please mind the boxes.
(Ouch!)
Do you REALLY have room at your house to park a fifth wheeler caravan and do you mind visitors? Oh, sorry, you don’t have to answer that one!! 😉
I’m in a block of flats at the moment. I figure I’ll blame someone else 😉
Country curiosities…
My latest novel, Season of Shadow and Light, has a strong horse theme. (I love what horses can teach us). If you were an animal what would you be?
I love horses, too, and spent most of my childhood riding. To actually be an animal, though, I’d pick something with wings. Probably a parrot, like the New Zealand alpine Kea. They’re pretty mischievous – suits me.
You’re cooking and your food is going up against the best cooks from the CWA (Country Women’s Association). What would be your winning dish?
My secret fudge. Or custard tart. Or lemon delicious. Or pumpkin scones – Flo’s got nothin’.
About you…
What is the hardest part of writing for you?
Remembering how hard it was for the last project. You tend to forget, then panic because the next first draft is bad.
If someone was to write your biography, what do you think the title should be?
Work in Progress!
Fun Favourites…
Favourite place in Australia: Great Keppel Island
Favourite holiday destination (anywhere): Sunshine Coast.
Favourite movie: It’s a toss-up between Aliens, Watchmen, Bridesmaids and The Prestige.
Favourite quote: “The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new respectability to uninformed opinion.” — John Lawton
If I said to you, “Just entertain me for five minutes, I’m not going to talk,” what would you do?
Would you like to see my stamp collection? Oh, what, you’d rather talk? That’s cool. *grin* (I can’t juggle – it’s probably better we talk)
