For almost three years, Sue Buckingham dismissed an “inside voice” urging her to write a book.
But as the voice got stronger, she found it harder to resist.
Ms Buckingham embarked on a new journey – penning a five-part series exploring family history, relationships and complexities. She will launch her second, and latest, book of the series –
The Brother’s Farewell – at Melton library later this month.
“I really like family history and I’ve always felt a connection with my ancestors,” Ms Buckingham says.
“So when I started writing, things happened very quickly.”
Ms Buckingham doesn’t find it hard to envision the appearances and personalities of her characters – it all comes naturally, she says.
“I’m excited about what is going to happen in the later series,” she says.
“I have a bit of an idea about it, but for me it’s like going on a journey as well – things come to me as I write.”
The Brother’s Farewell launch is at 7pm on Monday, February 22, at Melton library.
