CIRCLE SUNDAY SESSION, 14 June 2026

What an amazing afternoon we had on 107.3 HFM this afternoon. Yvette Wall from Off the Wall Productions was a brilliant guest, and we had a lively and interesting chat about plays and writing, and lots of other topics.

If you want more information about Yvette and her work, go to her website: www.yvettewall.com

Also in the studio were Lorri Lennox and Linda Bernhardt . As usual, they made the show a breeze and a pleasure.

If you missed the show, or just want to listen again , you can head to the HFM website: hfm.radio and select 'Listen again', then scroll down to our logo and select the correct date.

Saw a lovely kookaburra on the way out, it's so lovely to be surrounded by trees and wildlife at the station.

Congratulations to our Associate Member, Bruce, who writes under the name of James B. Alexander!

Not only has he recently published 'Silent Secrets' on Amazon, but he also has books 5 and 6 of his Aboriginal series due out in July and August. What a magnificent accomplishment!

Bruce has also found the time to pen a brilliant short story for our upcoming anthology. Talk about busy!

'Silent Secrets' is available on Amazon in e-book, paperback, and audiobook formats.

Here's the blurb:

"Tokyo burns. The Empire falters. And three young men are handed a choice that isn’t a choice at all.
When Takashi Abe is recalled for reassessment, he expects routine military bureaucracy — not a covert push into the Tokkotai, Japan’s feared Special Attack Units. Alongside his loyal friend Masaru and the anxious, soft‑spoken Chihaya, he is thrust into a world where honour is demanded, secrecy is enforced, and death is repackaged as duty.
As the war tightens its grip, each man must confront the same brutal truth: the Empire wants their lives — and expects them to give them willingly.
From bomb‑scarred Tokyo streets to the hidden training grounds of the kamikaze program, Silent Secrets follows three ordinary young men caught in the machinery of a collapsing nation. Bound by friendship, torn by fear, and driven by the faint hope of survival, they must decide what loyalty truly means when obedience leads only one way.
A gripping, human‑driven WWII novel about courage, indoctrination, and the quiet rebellion of choosing to live."

The forecast for Sunday, 14th June in Perth, is:
Cloudy, wet, and cold... which is the perfect weather for snuggling up on the couch with your favourite hot beverage, listening to CIRCLE SUNDAY SESSION.

This week's show will be a fun-filled event, with special guests Yvette Wall and Lorri Lennox joining your hosts, Valerie and Michael.

Yvette Wall is the founder of Off the Wall Productions and an award-winning Perth playwright and theatre maker.
She has won the Beryl Silvester Award for Best New Writing three times, along with other interstate awards. Her plays have been performed across Western Australia and in Queensland.
Known for her heartfelt stories exploring family connections, fractured fairy tales, and human drama, Yvette previously taught drama and ran community theatre workshops (Story to Performance). She now focuses fully on writing and creating new work through her company

Lorri Lennox from Artivity, is a much-loved member of GWC. Lorri loves to write poems and heartfelt pieces, but as a mixed-media artist, she lives and breathes art! Her brilliant, colourful artwork has graced the front cover of SHOWCASE Literary Magazine several times. Lorri truly believes that Art has saved her life. Not only the creation of art itself and the wonderful focus and fun it brings during creation, but also the connections made with others. Like-minded souls that connect are a wonderful thing, and art has brought so many valuable connections her way.

Make sure you tune in to 107.3 HFM on Sunday from 2 PM to 4 PM!

Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, and those who ‘mother’. Let’s face it, mother is not only a noun but a powerhouse of a verb. And it’s not always acknowledged the way it deserves, because some days it’s not easy. Some days it’s like a full-contact sport: active, ongoing, tiring, requiring the agility of a ninja and the patience of a saint. It’s a verb that never clocks out. It’s relentless. It’s messy. It’s fuelled by a level of love, devotion, and commitment that defies most laws of physics.
So, we’d like to take a moment to applaud you for doing such a great job.
And to wish you a wonderful day!
