For Coleman, there is ‘no way to escape except to live her own fiction.’” ![]() Her debut collection of stories and essays, How to Sit, was published by Mason Jar Press in 2018 and nominated. Coleman excavates her personal history, sometimes in stories handed down from past generations, sometimes in DNA results, and she discovers that it’s the act of writing itself that can free her from her family, her guilt, maybe even herself. Coleman is a writer, wife, mother, and attorney. How to both accept and transcend your past. How to Sit is, at root, a reflection on how to live. In these stories and essays, she uncovers a paradoxical truth: that sometimes it’s the more difficult things that you can face with surprising bravery and it’s the things that are supposed to come “easy” that are the hardest to learn. ![]() ![]() “How do you pick your mom up from jail?

In her fiction, she returns most frequently to the beauty and blood found in religion, exploring faiths in a quiet, reverent voice that recalls Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead. As a fan, it is nice to see a self-described “feminist tree-hugging pinko” officially recognised for her body of work. It’s an apt description: whether the setting is the rocky American wilderness or pre-biblical Israel, all Brooks’s books have an underlying fascination with the wider world, frequent references to multiculturalism and mutual understanding, and warnings against the corrosiveness of class prejudice – all wonderfully Australian roots. ![]() The American-Australian author was awarded the Order of Australia on Tuesday, to mark her “essentially Australian” contributions to writing, as she called them in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald. ![]() ![]() Rules Be KindĮvery interaction on the subreddit must be kind, respectful, and welcoming.

I’ve lived in Southern California most of my life, and I knew I wanted to base the novel on territory I was familiar with. Is there a significance to this taking place in So Cal, and to the kid ending up in a remote farmhouse, as opposed to, say, it happing in New York City or in a remote house in the desert? The story takes place in the 1980s, and the setting is Southern California, primarily in the San Diego area. ![]() A creature who needs the kidnappers gone as much as Henry does, because there is something in that old abandoned farmhouse it desperately wants. What the kidnappers don’t know is that Henry has a telepathic mind, and while captive he finds himself communing with a strange creature that lives in the surrounding forest. So the novel is about a young boy named Henry who is kidnapped and taken to a remote farmhouse in the deep woods where he’s held captive by a small band of bad guys. To start, what is A Child Alone With Strangers about, and when and where does it take place? But in Philip Fracassi’s police procedural horror novel A Child Alone With Strangers ( hardcover, Kindle) - which he discusses in the following email interview - revenge for the child in question is a dish best served scary. As loyal viewers of Law & Order: SVU and Criminal Minds will tell you, it’s always deeply satisfying when a kidnapped kid escapes or gets revenge on their captor. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a cuisine that was developed in the homes of the elite and middle class that takes inspiration from around the globe that is a diverse, varied style of cooking that has created much of what we know of as American.
