I admit…I am also a Kylie Kaden fan. I LOVED Losing Kate and I love that Kylie and I see eye-to-eye—literally speaking. (Not a usual occurrence when one is almost 6 feet tall!)
I had the pleasure of meeting Kylie at a conference a while back. Now I am ‘At home with author extraordinaire–Kylie Kaden’ from glorious Queensland.
Kylie, Thank you for letting me park my rig on your…
… bike/scooter/weed covered drive!
Great to have you, lovely Jenn (and apologies in advance for the cacophony of noise you will hear billowing from the windows at around 5am. I still haven’t found the mute button for my kids.) No alarms needed at my B&B!
What’s that I see written on your ‘welcome mat’?
‘My house was clean yesterday. Sorry you missed it.’
I miss my HUGE refrigerator. If I looked in your refrigerator right now, what would I find?
Hmm. Some left-over stir fry, my stash of Coke-Zeros, some Toy Story squeezy yoghurts, and a cheap Sav Blanc to get me through the witching hour!
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?
They’d have to be dog-friendly parks due to our new family member – Rusty the Spoodle. No great sentimentality about anything non-living (other than my children’s baby books!).
(Dac the one-eyed Dude says “woof” to Rusty.)
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!! 🙂
We have a double car port and a weedy footpath – all yours (see previous condition about noise pollution from my house though). Love to see you if you need a stop in Brissy and don’t mind sticky floors!
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?
A dolphin. I hate hot weather unless I’m in water.
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?
I make a mean carbonara (but all credit goes to the calories).
About you…
What is the hardest part of writing for you?
Plotting. Editing. Self-promotion. (So…everything but the writing bit?).
If someone was to write your biography, what do you think the title should be?
The Accidental Author.
What question have you always wanted to be asked in an interview? How would you answer that question?
Never imagined I’d be interviewed by anyone! I’m pretty boring really.
Favourite Fun
Favourite place in Australia: Mooloolaba.
Favourite quotes: ‘If you can’t handle me at my worst you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.’ Marilyn Monroe. And ‘Just keep swimming’ Dory.
If I said to you, “Just entertain me for five minutes, I’m not going to talk,” what would you do?
Get my three year old attempting to dance to Gangnam style. Far funnier than I’ll ever be.
(Oh, I doubt that, Kylie! Thank you for joining my #Write Round Odyssey.)

Sample Chapters of Losing Kate:
Here’s the blurb of Missing You!
Missing You is a tantalising love story and a seductive suspense novel: ‘Our lives were built around the strength of a kiss between strangers. Yet seven years on, look where it led us . . .’When Aisha met Ryan she fell hard for his good looks and easy charm. Why worry that he didn’t want children or a 9 to 5 job? Nothing and no one would come between them. But with the birth of their high-needs son, Eli, their extraordinary love is shackled into an ordinary life, their passion blunted by responsibility. Until Ryan can’t take it anymore. Then, following a mysterious phone call late one night, Aisha leaves four-year-old Eli in the care of her elderly father Patrick – and doesn’t come back. As Patrick struggles with the grandson he barely knows or understands, his frustration with his missing daughter and absent son-in-law quickly turns to fear. Particularly when blood is found in Aisha’s abandoned car . . .
You know you want it.
