Is Suicide a Dirty Word?

March 12, 2026 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

My memoir writing journey has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs. The actual writing was difficult, but rewarding. The people I've met, the skills I've gained, and many other aspects of this experience have been life changing. But today I'm looking for comparative titles for submitting my story to publishers. Writers will tell you … Continue reading Is Suicide a Dirty Word?

Eleven Years

July 29, 2024 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

Eleven years ago, on this day, you walked out the door and never came back. When I started writing my story about what happened; your suicide; and the kids and my journey through grief and adversity, I thought it'd be a reasonably short and easy process. I was telling a story I lived through. How … Continue reading Eleven Years

Raising The Stakes

October 19, 2023October 19, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

Just moments ago I heard on the news that a person in Antarctica had stabbed a co-worker for spoiling the ending of a book he was reading. The news story was about workplace stress. But I was more interested in the obvious investment the stabber had in his reading material. I wonder what book it … Continue reading Raising The Stakes

We Love Memoirs Day

August 31, 2023August 31, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

Today, 31st August, is officially We Love Memoirs Day. Personally, I love memoirs everyday. In fact, I love all kinds of books, every day of the year. However, I do particularly love memoirs. Especially if I have recently read other books of fiction by the same author. It's fascinating to see the differences and similarities … Continue reading We Love Memoirs Day

I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of the land on which I write and live, and the rich history of storytelling being an important part of the culture. I pay my respects to the elders, past and present, and acknowledge sovereignty of this land was never ceded.

My cultural cup is full after escaping moving house to enjoy a couple of sessions at Melbourne Writers Festival. A delayed post…I’ve been off socials for a week. But, it was surreal to see my name, face, words, and photos in print in the relaunched @thehillscene magazine 🤩 Congratulations @adridaze on the excellent capture of the hills creative community ❤️ thanks for the opportunity and I look forward to contributing further 🥳 One week without you, and I was so broken hearted, we moved house. I couldn’t bear not seeing your little face at the window. I miss you, Yoki-san, you took a piece of me with you ❤️ Last night we had to say goodbye to my best friend, my little saviour, and the best dog I’ve ever known, Yoki-san, after a brief and rapid decline. Last night’s sunset from the deck of our new house 🌅 If you’ve listened to the podcast, this is the sweet little mouth that was singing ‘The Roof Is on Fire’. So sweet, so cute, just starting kindergarten. The sunset in Brasil, that I talk about in the podcast. It was spectacular. I loved listening to the episode of That Day podcast with Jac and Kylie, as it reminded me of how lucky I am. This photo of Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro, was taken from a helicopter. I actually looked into those stone eyes as we circled around the statue. A pinch me. is this real moment. That Day Podcast
