But when Mark tries to change the rules, Beth''s peaceful world is turned upside down.Disturbingly, she also discovers that European wasps have invaded her garden. Beth''s obsession with them and their queen holds up a distorted mirror to the human drama. As the chaos in Beth''s life gathers momentum, connections between the two worlds come sharply into focus. The lives of Beth and the others are neither separate to, nor safe from, the natural world.AUTHOR''S NOTEIn this series of Wild Australia Stories I tell tales of the people, wildlife and land that I love. But there is more to wild Australia than brumbies, dingoes, dolphins and the magnificent outback. As a passionate conservationist and amateur naturalist, I''m interested in all aspects of nature. One thing I''ve learned is that it''s not always about the big things. Little creatures have a surprising impact on our lives. If you''re squeamish about insects, look away now. If you''re fascinated by the Australian bush and the way all creatures great and small are connected, then Beth''s story is for you.- Praise for Wasp Season --There is an ironic twist to this tale, a violent and sudden twist that will leave the reader gasping. Wasp Season is a fascinating study of nature and humans.- Wendy O''Hanlon,  Acres Australia- ''A thrilling story that describes both human and insect life in detail as they become intertwined ... an unforgettable, unputdownable trip into a garden that, on the surface, seems like a quiet refuge.'' - John Morrow, World of Books and Music- ''Scoullar, it turns out, is a writer of documentary calibre.''
