    When musical duo Savannah Rose invited me to speak at their RESPECT show I was honoured and baffled all at once. What would I talk about?

    With their smooth and dulcet harmonies, Suzanne Diprose and Bree Cleal sing dark and old-school country. Their awareness-raising show depicts how women are portrayed in song lyrics. They are joined by Moonshine Coalition, Heidi & Jules, and The Borrowed Boys. I needed to fit into all that and I dont have a country bone in my body.



    But I am a story teller. Iove led a rich and interesting life. So I decided to write a five-minute memoir. My life, through the lens of song lyrics.



    Iove a tiny part in a grand event filled with fun and games and lots of laughter. The show packs a punch too. The message is strong. Especially for songwriters!



    The RESPECT shows next date is at Emeralds Pave Festival, Thursday 6th April 2017 @ 7.30-9.30pm. $12 entry ($10 conc).
    I'm donating 20% of all book sales to womens shelters.

      Iraqi Civil War



      As Iraq breaks down into civil war our Prime Minister is making noises that we may have to take part in an 'allied' resolve to interfere again.

      What do you think?       I think we should never have taken part first time round. Either the US and its allies are profoundly stupid in that they could not envisage the mayhem they would cause given the initial conditions, or profoundly clever, since last I heard of the $2 Trillion the US spent in Iraq, 90...

    • Isobel Blackthorn speaking at Belgrave library – feat. Savannah Rose
      by Isobel Blackthorn
      What does an audience expect an author talk event will be like? Will there be a powerpoint presentation? A slide show of images of old drafts, with bits of text crossed out and heaps of writing in the margins? Will the author explain her writing process and provide insights into her creative journey?

    • Lovesick re-released!
      by Isobel Blackthorn
      My memoir, Lovesick, came out in 2011 to popular acclaim. I decided to re-release the book and give it a new lease of life after a friend and high school teacher told me he thought it should be much more widely read.
