Dear Michelle, what a varied and exciting life you have lived, and you're young with far to go. I have friends whose father migrated to Australia post-WW2, and their Aussie/Italian family history is wonderfully engaging. I like the sound of this story.How did you like Osaka? I visited Japan in 2008 with a Japanese family, amazing experience, culture, everything! Best wishes.

I am sure there are many Australian/Italians who will relate to it. I am currently editing a sequel, which will focus more on what happened to the family once they arrived in Australia.

I loved my two years in Japan - such a rich and intriguing culture!
Best wishes to you too!(less)

The Hatch - sequel

I've just finished writing the sequel to The Hatch and have submitted the work to my publisher, Odyssey Books. It took 22 months and is 63,000 words. A great sense of completion! I loved writing this book and I can't wait to share it with readers. If you loved The Hatch, you won't be disappointed with its exciting follow up.
