Author Talk with Todd Alexander

‘Over the Hill and Up the Wall’ is an affectionate, funny look at the frictions of taking a more active role in our elders’ lives.

When do we stop being our parents’ child and become their parent? After all, they did pretty well on their own for decades – why do they need our intervention now? And that tendency for them to drive us up the wall…could it be because we are entering middle age and starting to recognise some of those traits in ourselves?

A heart-warming journey with parents of a certain age and a son who thinks he knows best.

He has contributed articles for publications such as Nourish Magazine, The Guardian, African Safari Magazine and Home Beautiful.

Todd currently lives in the Hunter Valley with his partner Jeff where they renovate houses and rescue farm animals.
