autmumn leaves...and arrives at the same time ;)

Do you know how hard it is to write a book set in the heart of a Brisbane summer when outside the leaves are finally turning, the air is chilled, and inside the sound of rain pattering against our roof is mixed with the whumph of the heater turning on?

Real hard.

But the opening scene has to take place in Brisbane. At the Botanical gardens. With my hero hiding inside the planetarium. So I will struggle through, close my eyes and picture sunshine. I will!

Sigh...
