Produktbeschreibung

What do you do when you've run out of excuses?

When no one needs you to be parent, partner or employee.

When anything might be possible.

And while that might sound massively exciting, it's also just a bit scary.

What do you do, when the answer is whatever you damn well feel like?

Empty nester Kate Farr is about to turn 50. Husband Martin gifts her a fortnight at a French cooking school to celebrate. Fabulous, right? But when Kate gets to the Loire Valley, she finds the school has been cancelled, and no one is expecting her. Martin is not answering his phone, and Kate's got a fistful of euros and no idea what to do next. Meanwhile, her dad in Melbourne drops a bombshell, but could that just be his dementia? Kate's tribe of gal pals, The Triple Threats, also send shockwaves with some startling news. Then there's the suspicious death; who can Kate trust? And how on earth does she find herself in a dungeon, a police cell, and a jungle, and with a brand new best friend, a very old dog called Roger. And what is she doing, working as a funeral photographer and an international truck driver? When no one knows where you are, no one needs you, and you've got all the time in the world but have lost everything along the way, what exactly do you do next?

Autorenporträt

Margaret is big into food, travel and dogs. Oh, and she's just a tiny bit thingy about germs and hair in shower plug holes. She's been a journalist with News Corp for a decade. She's been food and wine editor, arts and entertainment editor, literary editor, features writer, and has also chased the odd ambulance and police story. Margaret has been a weekly newspaper columnist, writing more than 550 columns about her life. She is a senior restaurant judge with Golden Plate Awards. Travel and the pursuit of adventures is important to Margaret, who has also won an international travel writing award. In addition to being a print journalist, Margaret has also been a regular on air with Geelong's Bay 93.9 as a drive-time co-host. But, changes became inevitable after she took herself off on a self- styled sabbatical and studied comedy at Chicago's Second City and improv at New York's Magnet Theatre. Now, Margaret no longer works for the man. Instead, she cobbles together an interesting life of travel, adventures, comedy, writing, and restaurant judging. She also emcees, teaches, and facilitates workshops on writing and improv. Margaret founded, and has toured, Big Word of Mouth which is live storytelling filled with pathos and humour. And the dog aspect? After she outlived her very precious Jack Russells, she makes do as the loving and doting auntie of every dog she encounters. She tries not to wear black because she likes to be ready for dog cuddling at any given time.
