Rushton Roulette

by Bronwyn Elsmore

"We're not committing suicide here. Trust me, we're coming back."
Four women resist the thought of sliding into old age and decide to meet the challenge head on.
"It's a bit like Russian Roulette," says Heather.
"The chances are better in that," replies Merryn, "there it's only one in six that you get the bullet."

A upbeat and heartening novel about living life in the face of increasing age.

About the author

When Bronwyn was about ten, she wrote to Author Enid Blyton telling her she was going to be a writer too. She kept to her plan and that’s been her occupation since – she admits it’s a fair while now.

Over that time she has been an advertising copywriter, freelancer, contract writer, editor, education writer, playwright, writing mentor and tutor, and an academic writer during the years she was also an academic. She has won awards for several forms of writing - particularly short stories and plays.

Of the genres she has written – fiction, non-fiction, radio stories, articles, humour, books, short stories, plays, novels – she now most enjoys writing fiction. Short stories have always been a favourite, but currently she is having a renewed love affair with the form of the novel.

If Bronwyn is not at her keyboard in Auckland, the stunning New Zealand ‘City of Sails’, she’s likely to be feeding stray cats. When seen gazing in an abstract way she’ll either be plotting the next script or trying to calculate how many million words she has produced over her career.
