I met the lovely Maureen Eppen some years ago when she invited me to Secret Harbour to talk to the First Edition Book Club, a group of passionate readers who have been meeting now for 14 years. They were erudite, engaged and insightful, and it was a pleasure to discuss Elemental with them.

Lovely interview, Maureen. Your book shares such an important message, I wish you all the best with it.
I loved your photo! It reminded me of my own childhood in Orelia, the suburb next door to Calista. English immigrant parents too… No wonder we we get along!

Thanks so much for your kind words, Marie. 🙂 Wasn’t Kwinana a wonderful place to grow up? I have the most incredibly positive childhood memories that still bring me so much happiness. And I remain in touch with a number of special friends from my school days there. x

I still visit Kwinana quite regularly, and am always delighted to see how many beautiful trees and green spaces have been retained. The City of Kwinana does a fantastic job in providing so many top-notch facilities and services.
