Rachael Weiss

Rachael Weiss worked as a secretary before finding her voice and getting her first book published. She currently lives in Prague where she is technically the in-house writer for a hotel but, since the only thing she has to write is the website and occasional stiff letters to defaulting customers, in reality she’s the odd-jobs girl. She supplements her income by writing horoscopes for a series of obscure suburban and specialist papers and thus feels justified in describing herself as a syndicated columnist. Rachael’s greatest achievement to date is a fourth place in the New South Wales Scrabble tournament. One day she hopes to play Czech Scrabble. She is the author of Are We There Yet (Allen & Unwin, 2005) and Me, Myself & Prague (Allen & Unwin, 2008) and is currently working on her third book.

From the web master:

Much delayed, but coming before November. ...Someone's been hibernating on the job. He's incredibly smart and handsome and thus forgiven. But, he'll get an appropriate smack or two.

And Rachael's reply:

No, no, no smack, but he got an honourable mention in my blog. Go to AA you dumb fuck! (I say that in the kindest and most loving way possible).

So, October, what can I say? Was it a good month for you? It was a wonderful month for me. I failed to fall in love but I did meet a handsome stranger and my life did take a turn as a result. Next month, I think we should all find the love of our lives, change to a more meaningful and fulfilling job, go on a short journey and find a memento which will have significance for us, don't you? Yes, most certainly, all of this will happen.

See you in November, as long as someone hides the gin from my web master.
