Australian Heat Week 5- Maggie Nash
Inspiration
Have you ever wondered what it is that inspires so many Australian writers? What is it that gets us so worked up that we are compelled to write stories with hunky heroes and feisty heroines?
I guess a lot of it would definitely come down to our culture and lifestyle. We live in a country where the majority of the population’s past history began life as a Penal Colony. What better reason is there to want to escape to a world of fantasy and romance? And quite frankly, the weather certainly helps. I mean, all that sunshine means lots of SKIN.
However, in my opinion, there are 2 really great reasons why Aussie romance writers are inspired…
1. Hugh Jackman
and 2. Eric Bana
Need I say more?
So tell me…who inspires you?

Okay folks…I have decided to offer a great Aussie Gift pack to one person who comments on my post. Yes, there will be Tim Tams!
So post away …
Maggie
Who inspires me? He may be a little bit country, but I look at the Playgirl spread Keith Urban did and …oh yeah, inspiration for sure. LOL.
Well, all I know is that when I visited your country and partied with Aussies in Guam, I was a light weight. I had tons of fun. It was good to know that fun is universal. I did find out that football was not a topic to be debated. Won’t go there again. LOL Yep, The land down under is a great place to let your imagination run wild, shoot ya’ll even have the outback and walkabout. That is freedom from the hustle n bustle of city life.
It’s tough to gain inspiration in the dead of winter with two feet of snow or more.
Being an observer of lots of tanned skin beaming from the female form is an excellent choice for inspiring writing or photography.
You got me at Hugh Jackman(great inspiration) and I’m also inspired by David James Elliott(oh la la la).
I’d love the goody bag; upon reading ‘think Tim Tams’ I’ve done nothing but think of them. They inspire me also when reading.

Yes, I can sure see what you mean! What an inspiration! A nice sunny day, a good book, taking a long walk, all of these inspire me! It really doesn’t take that much!
Hi Maggie,
My goodness these two are so yummy! I’m not an author so any inspiration would be just pleasureable daydreams. lol, which is definitely ok with me!
I’ve gotta agree about Hugh Jackman, definitly an inspiration. I’m inspired too by Simon Baker (The Mentalist) also a singer & dancer hottie
TimTams are definitly an inspiration!
Mindy
Well, inspiration wise I would have to say Adrian Paul from the Highlander Series & Tyr (spelling) from the sci-fi series Andromeda. Also, Jean-Claude, Asher, Micah & Nathaniel from the Anita Blake Series…
my daughter inspired me.
I agree with Robyn Lee … the picture you’ve posted of Hugh Jackman and just the mention of Tim Tams (I’ve only been lucky enough to have them once, but if I close my eyes and think real hard I can still remember the taste) inspires me.
I’m really lookin forward to reading THE MASTER’S PRIZE.
Enjoyed reading the comments and I really like to see filns with Hugh in them Wow
Hugh is such a cutie. We grow cuties in NZ too!
I love your cover, Maggie. It’s very sexy.
Oh wow…it looks like a lot of people agree with me:-)
Thanks for the comments so far! Lots of great ones. Dina, you should elaborate on how your daughter inspires you
Hey Joy, I hope you enjoy TMP and thanks Shelley, I love that cover too:-) April Martinez is the cover goddess!
I’ll leave the competition open until the end of the weekend US Eastern time, then I’ll let you know the winner
Keep those comments coming folks!
I learned so mamy thing from my youngest daughter that’s all.
it doesn’t take much to inspire me reading one of your Good books does it everytime!
Aw shucks Connie….I’m blushing now *vbg*

Maggie
Hey Dina…yes, our children do teach us new things every day for sure. They are all very precious and can be inspiring. All my boys ( all 4 of them) inspire me in different ways. Sometimes to kick their butts…LOL…
