The Sunday Story Club. We all carry stories within us – wrenching, redemptive, extraordinary, and laced with unexpected and hard-won wisdom. These stories define you. Deep conversation has the power to enlighten, heal and transform.
Your curated, online persona is NOT you. You need to talk.
The stories you tell yourself define you. But are they accurate? Could there be another version?
In The Sunday Story Club, we ask questions that sidestep the prepared narratives participants often use to explain their life experiences to themselves and others. In this way, you learn something new about yourself. You can find out how to run your own salon in the book.
We talk. We text. We email. We might even Tweet and post on Facebook and Instagram. But too often we are just skimming the surface of our lives.
There are many benefits to spending time reflecting on your life through a deeper conversation.
Here is our interview with Cassie McCullagh, ABC Sydney, about our book The Sunday Story Club.
We would love others to engage in a deeper conversation by running their own story clubs.

THIS WRITER’S LIFE: Co-author Doris & I outside the ABC studios Melb. Great interview with Cassie McCullagh, Sydney.
We had time explain that The Sunday Story Club uses quirky questions to step outside the prepared narratives you often use to explain your life experiences. In this way, we learn about ourselves and others. These questions are intriguing to all ages.
We all carry stories within us. THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB (PanMac) is the book group without books where you share your own stories of love, loss, trauma & triumph BOOKTOPIA.
This is one of the real-life stories from The Sunday Story Club.
THIS WRITER’S LIFE: So the #BookNinjas, who set books loose on Australian public transport for commuters to take, read & return, dropped The Sunday Story Club off at Kyneton Station, my home town! I wrote 3 books about growing up on the Police Station in Kyneton. That is amazing synergy!
Doris and I wrote THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB so others can discover the magic running their own salon. And the idea that a random commuter might stumble across this idea is heart-warming.
THIS WRITER’S LIFE: So I was writing my novel. TARGET 91, when 2 of my characters were up for it!
What the hell!!!!
You will find my 5 Raunchy (and hilarious) Rules for Writing an O-O-OMG Sex Scene here.
My novel, TARGET 91, with more than one O-O-OMG sex scenes, is on AMAZON USA, UK, and AUS.
Also KOBO, SMASHWORDS, and Barnes&Noble NOOK and Apple iBook.
When my co-author, Doris and I, ran our first salon, 12 women who had not met before sat in Doris’s lounge room looking at one another. We wondered if strangers would talk. Well, they do with the right questions. Not only strangers but also long term friends have been amazed to hear stories told by someone so close to them that they have never heard before.
We wanted to share the astounding experience of the salon so we wrote THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB so others can discover this magic running their own salon.
My co-author Doris Brett & I were overwhelmed with the enthusiasm for our book THE SUNDAY STORY CLUB (PanMac), @The Happiness Conference in Sydney on Mon. There seems to be a hunger out there for open and honest conversations. This is one theme of the book, which we wrote as an antidote to all those FAKE online personas. (Yes! Irony alert! I’m online here.)
Not only do we share stories from our salon, we also encourage and show you how to run your own salon to benefit from deeper connections with others.
