@anna-brie Hello. And no you’re not the first Australian. I signed up a few weeks/months ago. I am quite new to story writing and I certainly don’t write novels. 🙁 Scary!!! The most I’ve written is around a 5 page story. 🙂
Where about in Aus are you? I live down in Victoria almost on the border. Isn’t Australia a great place to live??? (Sorry…[Read more]

@Sarah-h – No, book 5 is not the end one. Book 6 is. But I have read 1-4 miss 5 and then 6, so I know how it ends. I haven’t read The Young Underground so it wasn’t too sad. 🙂
And yes, Carry On, Mr. Bowditch is a great book for boys and girls.

@Sarah-h – Carry On, Mr. Bowditch is about Nathaniel Bowditch’s (a real person) journey from his modest beginnings, to his first sea voyage, to his rigorous self-education, to the triumphs of his fine-tuned mastery of navigation and eventual publication of his famous work, The American Practical Navigator (also known as the “Sailor’s Bible”).…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy – Yes lunch. (Which I have had now. It is actually 12:54pm) And if it was 8pm over here I’d be heading to bed. Which sounds nice cause I had a late night (got to bed at 1am) cause my sister had her engagement party. But no, I still have the whole afternoon ahead of me.
@daeus – You’ll probably find that you skim read it cause you…[Read more]

Oops sorry @daeus. (My fingers are way toooo fast for my brain and I’m hungry for lunch so my head isn’t focused.) 😛

You were right @writefury. It is the fear of long words. (Thank you Google. 🙂 ) I like your idea too @deaus

Yes! Yes! Yes! Normally I hate maths (I have a soon to be brother-in-law who can’t understand how I can dislike it) but Nat makes me wish that I had a better brain and I sometimes feel like learning Latin and Greek too. 🙂

I have no idea what they do as I’m Australian not New Zealand. I found it in a book and loved it ever since. 😛

It’s a great book. It is written so well that it is interesting and yet it still has a great lot of history in it.

By the way, this is the name of a hill in New Zealand. Have fun trying to say it –
taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu 😀 And for another interesting name, a town in France has the shortest name – Y. 😛

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia – what a word! What does it mean? 🙂

Yay!!!. I read it to my eldest sister and had to stop so many times cause I was laughing too hard. (And there was the occasional teary scene) 😛

Promise of Zion Series by Robert Elmer
The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare
Freedom’s Sword by Annie S. Swan
Carry On, Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham
How They Kept the Faith by Grace Raymond
Wilderness Wife by Etta Degering

I like number three. And “yay” you remembered the E. 😀

I would ask my favourite author “how does she come up with such exciting and wonderful ideas to write about?”

@ivy-rose – I agree with Daeus. I like number four too. You said that your website is “Lakeside” Publications but the logo has “Lakside.” Is that meant?

Fruits of the Fairies??? :s

I love the books of Ruth and Esther. Two women who did what God wanted and were blessed because of it. I think it should be so encouraging, at least to females, to stand firm in your faith and do the right thing. Even if the outcome might kill you, (Esther going before the king) or makes you step outside your comfort zone (Ruth leaving her…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy – I love it when Anna recites, but I also like in the 2nd one when Emiline reads it aloud in class. And when she acts in Mary, Queen of Scots too. 😀
But my favourite part in the movie is with the fireworks. We once had a pet lamb in the house (with a nappy on :P) and she had fallen asleep at our feet while we were watching it and…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield – I have not read the highwayman but I’ve heard Anne recite it. It sounds a very moving poem. We have number 3 but I haven’t watched it yet. I can’t wait though.
I sometimes think I’m very much like Anne (with an E 😀 ). A writer, an actress (and very Dramatic) and I’m always (at least when I was younger than I am now) in…[Read more]
