"Plus Ultra" Magazine

2006
Interview: Brian
Bolton
In
the Old Scholars section of my high school magazine, there was recently a double
page spread about graduates who were now professional writers.
I was so thrilled to be one of those highlighted, as my
favourite subject at school had always been English and I was so lucky to be
able to continue that love affair, and to go onto achieve a double English major
within my Bachelor of Arts degree, thanks to the enthusiasm, inventiveness and
encouragement of my school teachers.

Late last year I was interviewed for a Dutch magazine called
Celebrity. We talked about my first
sale, finding the inspiration for
writing multiple books, and writing for Harlequin in particular.
The article came in a month in which my fifth book A MOTHER FOR HIS DAUGHTER had
a Dutch
release which was really exciting.
But most of all I
thought it
pretty darned cool to be given a one page feature in a magazine with Uma Thurman
on the cover!

Article: Fiona Hudson
A Valentines Day inspired article about whether or
not Melbourne is a romantic city. I brought up the subject of footy, which
is a huge pastime in this city:
"There is a lot of opportunity for snuggling up
in the same scarf or coat in the cold."
In
the Old Scholars section of my high school magazine, there was recently a double
page spread about graduates who were now professional writers.
