About the Book

Ash and Destiny enjoy a happy life in Melbourne with their young son, Tomas, a large and slightly dysfunctional family, a successful art gallery, and Destiny's new exhibition about to debut. But everything changes for Ash on one extremely hot Summer Solstice when a car crash leaves his family shattered. Waking in hospital Ash knows his whole life has been flipped on its head and his long journey to adjusting to loss and pain is just about to begin. But as time passes both Ash and Destiny struggle to return to their normal life in Melbourne. When all seems to be lost and stagnating in their lives, the option to move to country Victoria presents itself. An unlikely move for the city-dwelling couple turns into a new and rejuvenating experience that is the start of a new family, connection to old family, and a healing process for all, despite more disasters looming in the distance.

Through Busybird Publishing, she runs workshops teaching writers the art of storytelling, and has helped over seven hundred authors publish their books. She is a champion of helping people find their voice.Her story, 'Eleventh Summer', came second place in the biennial short story competition with the Society of Women Writers (Vic) in 2007, which has since been published in the anthology, 'Mud Puddles', and the anthology, 'Thirteen Stories'. She's had other stories that have been published in 'Blue Crow Magazine', '21D Magazine', 'Fellowship of Australian Writers', and '[untitled]'.Blaise is also the author of 'The Book Book: 12 Steps to Successful Publishing' and co-author of 'Self-Made: Real Australian Business Stories', and a contributor to the health-conscious series 'Healthy Body' and 'Healthy Mind'.In 2018, she published a collection of short stories as a memoir about her childhood, called 'The Road to Tralfamadore is Bathed in River Water'. She then published her memoir, '50 Days for Fifty Years: Walking the Camino de Santiago', about walking the Pilgrim's Trail.She first began work on this novel, 'The Colours of Ash', in 2007, and would routinely revisit it around taking care of her family, running a household, and managing her business, Busybird Publishing (www.busybird.com.au).It is her first novel.
