Hi, Elizabeth: I just got a message from Melanie at bookworm2bookworm saying you wanted to know if I would read and review a book for you. I read/reviewed "Staircase to the Moon" and really enjoyed it. Please let me know if you need my help and I'll try to work it in. Many thanks for thinking of me. I'm adding a question mark so this will come through to you. ? Connie Fischer

What are you currently working on?
Elizabeth Haran I'm just finishing the last chapter of a book set in the Northern Territory. THE CAPRICORN SUN.
The subject is close to my heart. The conservation of African animals, elephants and rhinos. I was born in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) where the book begins, so to write about that country and Australia, my home for more than fifty years, has been been a joy.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Elizabeth Haran To be honest, I've never had writer's block. I do a detailed outline of every new book and show it to my publisher, usually about 14 pages. We discuss it and then agree upon a final draft and then I begin writing. So I always know where I am going.
