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?

Is it ok to not be ok?

September 14, 2023September 14, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 1 Comment

Here we are again on my least favourite, quippy-acronym day of senseless tokenism. I mean, RUOK Day? We can't even spell it correctly. It might make it too real. A day of corporate yellowness and box ticking, self-congratulatory, fake altruism and empathy. Actually, in fairness, I must concede to the fact RUOK Day has raised … Continue reading Is it ok to not be ok?

So…what is your book about?

May 18, 2023May 18, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 3 Comments

When I started writing my book, I had a very definite idea, or ideas, regarding what is would be about. However, as I write it is morphing and growing into something I did not expect. Apparently this is not only common, it is to be expected. My course, Writing the Narrative Non-Fiction Book, at Faber … Continue reading So…what is your book about?

Project 11 and Hockey

January 17, 2023January 17, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 4 Comments

As some readers will know, 10 years ago my late husband, Michael committed suicide. To say it was life changing would be an understatement. Six years ago, I met Stu. Equally as life changing, in a vastly more enjoyable way. Stu is Canadian and played ice hockey for many years. On a recent trip to … Continue reading Project 11 and Hockey

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.

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 Chatting to Mark Mupotsa-Russell today about his excellent book The Wolf Who Cried Boy at Belgrave Library was both fun and thought provoking. I loved reading The Wolf Who Cried Boy, and particularly loved the 6-year-old protagonist, Henry. Author talks are the best, and I’m really enjoying the opportunity to ask the questions.
