While working on my second novel, The Marrying Type, I had a lot of fun researching weddings. Elliot Lynch, the story’s main character, is a wedding planner, and while the focus of the book isn’t on the details of the weddings, I still liked to imagine what dresses, flowers, and other elements would appear at each of the ceremonies and receptions.

Raquo; Connect Post. Raquo; Q A with Liane Moriarty. Q A with Liane Moriarty. Australian author Liane Moriarty talks about her most exciting moment, her fictional crush and what inspired The Husband’s Secret. Since you became a writer, what’s the most exciting thing to happen to you? I am trying to choose between two memories. Until then I’d secretly wondered whether the whole process of publication had been a giant (cruel) practical joke. It was quite surreal. How did you get the idea for the novel?

Raquo; Connect Post. Raquo; Living Vicariously. Laura Greaves reveals why her heroines are feistier versions of herself. I’m going to go out on a limb here and make a bold statement: every chick lit heroine is a version of the author who created her. I call porky pies on writers who say their protagonists are nothing like them. We all infuse our characters with elements of ourselves – whether that’s ourselves as we really are or as we wish we were. Similarly, Kitty lives in a spacious weatherboard cottag...

Raquo; Connect Post. Raquo; Cougar Lit. Catherine McNamara asks – does the object of desire always have to be a hot twenty-something? We’ve all seen them: semi-naked gardeners toiling in the sun, attractive ski instructors with firm thighs, young science teachers with their loosened ties and roving eyes. How many times has one caught your eye? Hair tossed back on a crowded bus, or smirking from behind a bar as he mixes your drink. The beautiful young man, there for all to savour. My heroine finds herself...
