Apologies to lovely Kerrie Paterson who hosted me on her blog last week. I forgot to post the links, but better late than never! She was kind enough to allow me to waffle on about one of my passions 🙂 Can you guess what that might be? Find the conversation at : Kerrie Patterson. And Continue reading

I live by a beach just north of Cairns – my own tiny slice of paradise in North Queensland. When I'm not writing, you'll find me flying Dash 8 aircraft for QantasLink around regional Australia.
I write romantic suspense with feisty, confident heroines who (not surprisingly) work in the aviation industry. My stories are set in the top end of Australia – a wild and wonderful, larger-than-life environment just begging to be showcased in anticipation-filled novels.
Publishing journey x 3
What’s better than one writer at a library chat? Three!! Thanks to loads of hard work from Brenda Telford and Allison Roberts the Cardiff Library welcomed Jenn J McLeod, Wendy James and me for a three way chat about our writing journey. The new library is underneath the local Woolworths and has a great space Continue reading
Busy, busy, busy…
Life’s pace is relentless at the moment, but it seems I’m a sucker for punishment and sleep is over-rated!! Last weekend I drove three hours to Lismore where the wonderful Rainbow Writers group from RWA had organised 26 willing participants to attend a masterclass with me. It’s been many years since I last visited Lismore Continue reading
Kylie Kaden’s Working Space
I can’t remember who introduced me to Kylie Kaden’s wonderful debut novel (maybe Jenn J McLeod??) but I will be forever grateful. ‘Losing Kate’ is an impressive debut – evocative, real, beautifully crafted and different. I’m delighted Kylie’s taken time out of her busy life to visit the blog today and share her writing space Continue reading

Coffee at Café Cala
I’ve dropped by Maggie Christesen’s ‘Café Cala’ this morning for a chat. Love the view looking out over Noosa! Join in the conversation at Café Cala.
Rocking along!
Today’s guest is the inimitable Cathryn Hein. Her wicked sense of humour, passion for golf, and obsession with a bunch of grown men wearing red and white tight shorts, makes her stand out from the crowd. I love hanging out with Cathryn and Rachael Johns at RWA and ARRA events – and if you want Continue reading
In the cold dawn light may we never forget.
After the Parade – If you missed this QLD ANZAC Day special, which was broadcast live across the state last night, it’s on ABC TV tonight at 7.30. It’s an emotional reminder of why we should never forget the price of war.
And the real jetty is?
I’m visiting Fleur McDonald’s blog today talking about small towns and why I love writing about them. Fleur’s also found the jetty which features on Safe Harbour’s cover. It’s the Esperance Tanker Jetty! Fiona Palmer picked it when the cover was first released and Fleur’s now shared a link to a newspaper story in The Continue reading
