Karrana is a fictional town within my novel by that name. It is also a metaphor for Australia coming out of wartime restrictions in the Pacific region.

Produktbeschreibung
Karrana is a fictional town within my novel by that name. It is also a metaphor for Australia coming out of wartime restrictions in the Pacific region. Spring is breaking out of winter's grasp, just as Bridie O'Toole, daughter of a New South Wales dairy farming family Down Under, is celebrating Allied successes at a country dance. She is, along with her country, about to arise like a butterfly from a chrysalis, and to spread her gorgeous wings ready for flight. Will Featherstone, farmer and Bridie's knight on a white stallion, represents physical nature. Born into country ignorance, Bridie is yet to experience passion; when she falls in love with Will from the opposite, well-heeled side of the Karrana River, conflict ensues. Destiny is Bridie's nemesis at the outset, when her inner needs and and her spiritual nature are unfulfilled. Her search for fulfilment takes on special urgency after an accident shakes her to the core and threatens the future of her growing family. Bridie's temperament deems that she wants more from life than lush nature alone, symbolising the situation for Australia at the end of the Second World War. Will Bridie's passion prevail, and will her husband be able to help save the family from disaster in the end?

Anne Skyvington is one of five siblings born into a country family in rural New South Wales, Australia. After leaving her rural origins, she qualified as a teacher and spent some years in Paris, France, before returning to Sydney. Much of her writing today is informed by the bushland setting of her childhood. She holds two Master Degree qualifications, one in French language and literature, and another in creative writing. A life-long lover of the written word, Anne taught English to overseas educated professionals for over twenty years, before retiring and devoting herself to full-time writing. At the same time, she became increasingly interested in the slowly emerging 'Internet', and the opportunities it brought to writers everywhere. Anne immediately became fascinated with the concept of 'blogging', digital marketing and self-publishing, Her personal blog 'The Craft of Writing' journals the past ten years of her own educational experience, beginning as a complete internet newbie, to a digital expert in the field of Self-Publishing. She blogs on the craft of creative writing and life as a writer in Sydney, Australia. Her articles distil the research she does for her own creative writing and explore the fundamentals of writing and publishing. Anne lives near the beach with her husband in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
