A dark secret ... Yolande Lawrence-Harrison was hiding a dark secret. She'd returned to her hometown of Tarrin to help her ailing grandmother in Flowers for Fleur, where she had to put her engineering career aside to learn the science of flower art. A note ...

A dark secret ... Yolande Lawrence-Harrison was hiding a dark secret. She'd returned to her hometown of Tarrin to help her ailing grandmother in Flowers for Fleur, where she had to put her engineering career aside to learn the science of flower art. A note ... As Yolande fussed with the pale pink roses in the basket of her grandmother's 1950s Raleigh Cruiser bicycle, she discovered a note. Yolande fumed at the pitiful manners and pure arrogance of the wording, and after numerous exchanges, she became irritated by the persistent, annoying, pig-headed, obstinate human being who wouldn't take no for an answer. Beware ... But when Alexander Parker walked into Flowers for Fleur, her thoughts scattered. However, she refused to inhale the luring potion he offered. She could see through his projected facade, where his perfection was a practised deceit. She wondered, if she could see through his pretence, could he see through hers? Could he see that she was damaged, hiding a past that ate away at her core, allowing the darkness to engulf what was left of her inner light. Could he see that she was the colour of broken? Run ... Yolande wanted to run. Away from the flowers. Away from Alexander Parker. But she couldn't. Her grandmother's life was fading as she battled the incurable Meniere's disease, and she needed to choose whether to fight her past or not, ultimately exposing her inner demons, in order to save her grandmother and herself from the same fate.
Autorenporträt
Amelia Grace is the pen name of Julieann Wallace, a bestselling multi-published author whose #8wordstory was chosen by the Queensland Writers Centre to be featured on the back of their business cards in 2018. She resides in Australia, and was diagnosed with the incurable (for now) Meniere's disease in 1995. In her quest to defeat the violent unpredictable vertigo, profound hearing loss, and relentless, impossibly loud tinnitus, she chose to have her balance cells destroyed in 2004 to stop the vertigo, relearning to walk again. In 2020, Julieann regained her hearing with the gift of a cochlear implant. Prior to her career as a writer, Julieann was an educator with Education Queensland (Australia) for 25 years, and was nominated twice for the National Excellence in Teaching Awards. She now teaches in the Arts Faculty at a Secondary School, encouraging students to use the Arts to be changemakers, and a voice for others through use of the power of written words and visual art. Julieann is a self-confessed tea ninja, chocoholic, and papercut survivor, and tries not to scare her cat, Claude Monet, with her terrible cello playing.
