I’ve spent years writing and speaking about courage, meaning, and how people live and die without regret.

I chose to move into fiction to create a world and characters entirely from imagination and to explore what I was capable of as a storyteller.

In writing my novel, Kookaburra, I found myself asking my characters what they needed to experience in order to become who they were capable of being.

My novel follows three teenagers in a drought-stricken Australian village whose lives are altered by a rupture at eighteen, exploring how early emotional fractures can shape the course of a life.

Although I was offered a publishing deal forKookaburra, I chose to self-publish in order to retain full creative control over its editing, narration, and design.

I very much enjoyed narrating my non-fiction audiobooks, but chose an amazing narrator to do this one. Narrating fiction is a skillset of its own and I was blessed to find the perfect person. You'll love it!

Of course, it's also available in print and as an eBook. If you're still a lover of the old-fashioned version of print books, as I am, please support independent bookstores wherever possible.

Of all my books, songs, albums, vlog episodes, social media offerings, speaking experiences, and previous online courses —of everything I have ever created (besides my daughter!) — Kookaburra is my favourite work of art.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

With love,
Bronnie
