Meeting Rachael Treasure

Last Saturday I was fortunate to hear Rural Romance author, Rachael
Treasure, talk about her writing, at a Brisbane Writers’ Festival event at Nundah
Library. It was an entertaining and informative talk which
highlighted the importance of getting her message across, primarily looking
after the land, while writing an entertaining romance. I’m a city girl
and I have to confess that I’m not a reader of rural romance, but I am now
engrossed in Rachael’s book of short stories ‘The Girl and the Ghost-Grey Mare’. I  have no
intention of trying to write rural romance, but I am heartened and inspired by
her commitment to write meaningful romance. That is something I do want to
achieve in the historical romance genre. What are your thoughts?
