LIFE SONG excerpt - Chapter 2

Why was Kiama chosen for the book launch of 'Life Song'?
I drew on the Kiama landscape in the creation of the fictional coastal town of Keimera which features in both In and Out of Step and Life Song. That fictional landscape also draws on the NSW towns of Camden, Goulburn, and Bungendore. My maternal family have also lived in Kiama for over thirty four years.
