Martin family birthday breakfasts followed a strict tradition. First, there were Belgian waffles, made by Belinda, the beloved Hopewell Hotel cook. These were served up with an array of toppings: chocolate syrup, fresh lemon whipped cream, stewed strawberries, and powdered vanilla sugar. The air should have been thick with wafflely perfume. Instead, there was an acrid, confusing smell, undercut by a light touch of smoke.

Hey, everyone, this is my last post - sounds like a sad piece of bugle music, doesn’t it.
It’s been great blogging with the people who joined in -Â Steph, the Lauras, Ann, Jess and more recently Alison from Word Box who pointed out an alternative route for young people to get published. (My answer was only relevant to the mainstream publishers because they are the ones I work with and know about.)
I hope you’ll keep in touch through my website  www. jamesmoloney.com.au
All power to Insideadog. It’s a great concept and I’m going to check around for other blogs that I might be interested in for myself. The real plus out of all this is that we’ve been discussing books and reading and that’s something I feel passionate about. Thank you all for taking part and letting me be part of it.
Bye - James Moloney
