It’s a delight to introduce the lovely Juliet Madison today, thank you Juliet for sharing a bite from your life.
I write: Humourous and heart-warming contemporary women’s fiction, embracing life, love, and magical new beginnings. I have also started a young adult series which is slightly supernatural and revolves around five sisters, each with aspects of psychic ability.
Three words to describe me: Determined. Creative. Competitive.
It’s a bit daggy but I love: Playing board games. My favourites are Scrabble, and Absolute Balderdash – it’s a hoot! And a great game for writers because you have to make up plots.
My first job was: Avon lady (ding, dong!).
My day job is: A variety of things. Up until a couple of years ago I was running a health clinic (I’m a naturopath), but now I’m at home with my son supervising his distance education high schooling (which is a full-time job in itself!), but I like to keep busy, not to mention earn some income so we can eat, so I also run an internet business that supports women who suffer with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/PCOS, which is based around a book I self published on the topic.
Three things people might not know about me are:
1. I used to be a contemporary dance teacher.
2. I almost became a doctor.
3. I’ve never been out of Australia.
Favourite book as a child: The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton.
Why I write:
Because I simply have to or I’ll go mad!

/ June 1, 2012Everytime I learn more about you I think ‘what an amazing person’. Now… Absolute Balderdash sounds like some of my earlier novels !!!!!

/ June 1, 2012i remember balderdash on the commador 64 lol now that’s showing my age. Board games are awesome. I love Cranium, celebrity head and we just discovered Monopoly Cards. Yep, cards and its easier, shorter and way more fun. Thanks Juliet

/ June 1, 2012So relate to why you write! AND the board games. This was a very-eye-opening interview. I learnt a lot 🙂
Juliet Madison
/ June 1, 2012Glad I’m not the only board game nerd around 😉 Kerri, Cranium is awesome – especially when you have to get up and dance, and we have monopoly cards but have never played it.
Rach, I reckon we’d all become very ‘irritable’ if deprived of writing, it’s such a great creative outlet for making sense of life!
