Bestselling Australian author
This week, I flew back to Australia and got reacquainted with one of my favourite travel destinations. No, I’m not talking about a beach resort, or a five star hotel or a world heritage site (although there are many of those that I do love). I am talking about an airport, or rather, a part…
I am really enjoying writing these posts. It’s great to look back and remember the books that I have enjoyed. I’ve been writing a new book during the last couple of months, so not reading as much as I normally would… but that still means I am reading a book a week. I have however, stayed…

Recently I played hooky from my desk for a day and went to Blenheim Palace. I’d read about it, of course, and I’ve seen it in any number of movies, but this was my first visit. Wow! The palace is a world heritage site and it well deserves that honour. It is amazing, but I…
At last I can show you the cover of the new Coorah Creek book… Isn’t it just beautiful? This novella features all your old favourites in Coorah Creek. Trish and Syd are there. You’ll get to spend more time with Max and Tia who you met in Little Girl Lost. There’s a new face in…
The blog is on tour again this week. I’m over that the Take Five Authors blog, talking about writing. Not so unusual I know, but this time I am talking about writing fact – not fiction. In my day job, I work with computer systems… well, actually, I work with people helping them implement large…
