What do you do when you have to stay at home and not go to work? You try and make all your dreams come true! Doesn’t everyone? So Steven Wilson did what he’d always wanted to do and wrote the collection of short, snapshot stories known as “Watering the Garden.”Set in and around Newcastle, NSW, Australia, and often using an image as the starting point, the stories are an eclectic mix of characters, situations, and unexpected outcomes: meet Sterling from the Urban Flyers running group, a drug courier dog, an old cowboy living on the coast, a worn out journo typing his final story, and any number of men wondering what to do in chance encounters with an umbrella touting young woman, a large cow named Misty, and a backyard invading small brown chicken.These stories are full of surprises, meditations on life, and hilarious humour. 3
