'Rebecca Sparrow is a novelist and journalist currently based in Queensland. She spent much of last year writing happily about the baby she was carrying. Georgia Grace was subsequently stillborn. Having expected to spend the early months of 2011 caring for her newborn, Rebecca has instead thrown herself into organising a huge fundraiser, Writers on Rafts, for the Queensland flood victims.'
