A stint in journalism at the South Eastern Times was the stepping stone for Maya Linnell to transition from hard news to fiction writing.<\/p>\n

The self-confessed \u201ccountry girl\u201d turned bestselling romance author said growing up in rural Victoria inspired her to explore the stories hidden within the hills of the state\u2019s south west and western districts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always loved it (writing), I was always writing stories as a kid. My dad\u2019s a journalist and mum\u2019s a book worm, so it was a pretty natural progression.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt (transitioning from journalism to fiction) was a different style of writing, but I think one of the really cool things was I got to spend a bit of time focussing on settings and describing things more, rather than the short sharp and shiny for the news. And of course, I didn\u2019t have to let the truth get in the way of a good story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having published her debut book Wildflower Ridge in 2019, Linnell has since been named a finalist in the 2019 Australian Romance Readers Awards for the favourite Australian romance author category.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Bottlebrush Creek by Maya Linnell is the sequel to her debut novel, Wildflower Ridge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She said the book and its sequel Bottlebrush Creek (2020) followed the journey of four sisters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been a country girl, and it\u2019s really nice to write about things I know.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the stories, I\u2019ve got four sisters called the McIntrye sisters, and each of the books focuses on a different sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first book I\u2019ve got Penny McIntrye who comes back to the family farm after living in the city, the second book I\u2019ve got Angie McIntrye who takes on this fix-up project that happens to be right next door to her in-laws, and then the third book I\u2019ve got Lara McIntyre who\u2019s looking to save their local shop.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s nothing better than losing yourself in a good story, and romance is guaranteeing the readers a happy ending or at least a happily for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linnell said she chose to focus on a family of four siblings so she could draw upon memories and experiences from her childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s something really special about farming families and the dynamics of what happens with succession planning, particularly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m one of four; I\u2019ve got two sisters and two brothers, so four\u2019s a good number for me to know how to write about.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve also got a few farming friends; a friend who\u2019s one of four boys, and a friend who\u2019s one of four girls, so I\u2019ve had different conversations with them. Their parents are the same age as my parents, and they\u2019re kind of getting to that stage where they probably don\u2019t want to think about giving up the farm but they\u2019re conversations that will need to start happening in the next 10 years or so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linnell was scheduled to speak at author talks across the country this year, however has had to host all discussions online via channels such as Zoom because of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

She will be appearing as part of Geelong Regional Libraries\u2019 virtual author talks with Geelong author, friend and mentor Fiona Lowe (Daughter Of Mine, Home Fires, Just an Ordinary Family) on June 10 from 7.30-8.30pm.<\/p>\n

Linnell said she was also fortunate enough to receive advice from Geelong author Alli Sinclair (Beneath The Parisian Skies, The Cinema at Starlight Creek, The Codebreakers) before hitting the shelves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be talking about the inspiration behind the story, probably a bit of my background in journalism and how I got to become a published author, and then we\u2019ll talking about the Romance Writers Association because Fiona\u2019s a member too and I\u2019ve seen Fiona talk at different events.<\/p>\n

\u201cFiona\u2019s been a lovely mentor to me and given me really helpful advice throughout the process. She gets a little nod in the back of the book in the acknowledgements section.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linnell offered some sound advice to budding writers who may not know where to start.<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to work out which type of writing group you can join, whether it\u2019s Writers Victoria, or it\u2019s a local, in person writing group. There\u2019s also the Crime Writers of Australia and Romance Writers of Australia \u2013 they\u2019re people who know exactly what you\u2019re doing, why you\u2019re doing it, and they\u2019ve got advice and lots of support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also so much information on podcasts. In most interviews authors will say how they got their publishing contract, share their tips and tell of the hurdles they faced so people don\u2019t have to make the same mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n
