Lucy Treloar, Salt Creek

“There is something about a dog.They love freely; they do not judge or blame; they forgive. That's a blessing every day of their lives, and you pay for it when they die.”
Lucy Treloar, Wolfe Island

“You decide for yourself the things you want to know about yourself, even if not in your entirely conscious self; you choose not to peer down into the mess of it all. That’s what I do, I’ll admit it. I turn away.”
Lucy Treloar, Wolfe Island

“There is something about a dog.They love freely; they do not judge or blame; they forgive. That's a blessing every day of their lives, and you pay for it when they die.”
Lucy Treloar, Wolfe Island

“I have more than enough books that I want to read, more than enough essentials that I spend my time looking for in second-hand bookshops. To discover one new author – and this new author might have been dead for over a hundred years – has always been to discover a new route through the susurrus of those second-hand bookshops, another several evenings trawling the glow of Amazon lists and other better sites. I have no time to think of reading books that I have no interest in reading,”
Jen Craig, Panthers and the Museum of Fire
