Julietta Hendersons literarische Stimme wird geprägt durch ihre prägenden Jahre in den Regenwäldern von North Queensland, wo ihre Leidenschaft für das Geschichtenerzählen Wurzeln schlug. Ihre Schriften werden durch ein Mosaik vielfältiger Erfahrungen bereichert, vom Führen von Radtouren in der Toskana bis zur Kinderbetreuung in den italienischen Alpen, was ihren Erzählungen eine weltoffene Perspektive verleiht. Henderson hat ein Gespür dafür, die Essenz von Orten und menschlichen Verbindungen einzufangen und die Leser in eindringliche Umgebungen zu entführen. Ihre Werke erforschen oft Themen der Zugehörigkeit und Entdeckung und spiegeln eine tiefe Wertschätzung für kulturelle Erkundung und die Suche nach Heimat in verschiedenen Landschaften wider.

Gemeinsam wollen sie Normans Traum vom Comedy-Duo verwirklichen und seinen Vater finden, während sie sich dem Edinburgh Fringe Festival nähern.
When reality comes calling, do you face it . . . or keep running? Danny is the definition of a man who 'could do better'. He drinks more than he should, lives in his best friend's garden shed - and he hasn't spoken to his sister in 16 years. But when Danny is the subject of a misleading newspaper article, claiming his lifestyle might actually be quite enlightened, he suddenly finds himself in the limelight. Letters begin to flood in from strangers seeking his guidance. Wolfie is the daughter of Danny's estranged sister. She's never met her uncle, but her mother is struggling and Wolfie needs him. So when she sees Danny's picture in the paper, she sets out to find him. Within a week, Danny goes from being responsibility-free to a big brother, an uncle and an unwitting existential 'guru' to some very lost souls. Can he become the man they all need him to be? And can he sort his own life out in the process?
