 Between The Lines – Episode: Paradise Heights Craft Store Stitch Up with Kate Solly What happens when a mother of three, a missing charity store item, and a tight-knit Melbourne community collide? In this episode, Chelle and Leanne welcome back Kate Solly to chat about her latest novel, Paradise Heights Craft Store Stitch Up—a story brimming with humor, heart, and a dash of mystery. Kate takes us behind the scenes of Fleck’s world: a mum who feels invisible, yet uses that very invisibility as her detective superpower. Together, we explore how motherhood, neurodivergence, and community all shape Fleck’s journey—and why the bonds between women matter more than ever. In this episode:
  • Why feeling invisible as a mum can actually be an advantage (and a detective’s secret weapon!)
  • The joy and chaos of balancing writing with motherhood, and how everyday moments spark creativity
  • Honest, positive representation of neurodivergence through Fleck and Trixie’s friendship
  • The importance of community, belonging, and the volunteers who keep the craft store running
  • Real-life inspirations from Melbourne’s suburbs and why setting matters in storytelling
  • Kate’s candid reflections on ADHD, writing routines, and the power of small steps
  • Favorite moments, laugh-out-loud lines, and why “cahoots” might just be the best word ever
