Lyn Bodycoat

A Rough Road and Moments at Marathon, by Lyn Bodycoat, both tell stories about life in Western Australia during the nineteen twenties and thirties, when settlement was in its infancy and individuals overcame adversity in their struggles to carve out a living. The two stories are a testament to the human spirit, though happiness abounds amidst hardship. Both are ghost memoirs as I recount the stories told to me by my grandmother, in A Rough Road, and then by my father in Moments at Marathon.

I am currently writing a work of fiction, full of suspense and intrigue, and enjoying the process!

		Making Meaning Making Sense Lynne Hunt https://www.amazon.com.au/Making-Meaning-Sense-Lynne-Hunt/dp/1922727385 ‘Making Meaning, Making Sense’ (2022) tells stories about the meanings we all make in life. Lynne’s stories make you think. Why, for example, are there endless jokes about mothers-in-law but very few about fathers-in-law? How do we make sense of secrets, customer service, caregiving, medical advocacy, politics, feminism, courtesy, religion, travel, music, and one-liners? It’s philosophy without the boring bits. All the stories happened. They are intimate, universal, and unbelievably true. Lynne is offering free community-based workshops locally to encourage others to share in the joy of storytelling.
