On a recent visit to my mum’s house I tried to find my copy of Pookie the White Rabbit – my favourite children’s book. Unfortunately it seems to have vanished, but the top shelf in my old cupboard turned up some classics. It seems I was destined to write Romantic Suspense (and fly aircraft) from Continue reading
Tag: Border Watch
1980 was a very good year !
Who knew that school reunions could be so much fun? I spent Saturday night with fifty of my old classmates at our 30 yr reunion (don’t sweat the maths – it means we’re closer to 50 than 40…) Most of us haven’t seen each other for ten years since the last reunion or, in my Continue reading
So, what do you think?
It’s official I have two new covers! (No, not bedspreads as my silly husband just suggested…. duh…) I know this may seem a little odd, but Border Watch is being re-released as WINGS of FEAR, complete with a new look cover. ‘Why?’ I hear you ask (as did I). It seems the feedback from booksellers was that Continue reading
The e-book revolution!
In a couple of days Border Watch will be available as an ebook on the iBook Apple site! I’m very excited that Hachette has joined the e-revolution, though a little nervous as well… Booksellers have been incredibly supportive, hand-selling Border Watch to a stack of happy customers and I thank them for that. I’d hate Continue reading
Honey of a day!

Green Ant Dance
Gardening in the tropics has many perils. (Most of them involve men with chainsaws or the over zealous use of pruning equipment – normally by my husband…) We had a half yearly cut-back yesterday and mother nature got her revenge 🙂 In the photo my husband is performing the Green Ant Dance. When you disturb Continue reading
This ‘sim life’
For those of you in aviation the photos in this blog will be very familiar (and not always in a happy way…) To those of you who don’t fly this is glimpse into a full flight simulator where pilots are trained and then checked on a regular basis – in our case every three months. Continue reading

Tropical Writers Festival
Wow! I’ve just had a fabulous (but exhausting) weekend at the Tropical Writers Festival in Cairns. There is something very uplifting about spending an entire weekend with people who are passionate about books. As always the differences in opinions about the merits of one book versus another were intriguing and the Biggest Book Club certainly Continue reading
Disney Downunder – (This is for Sandy and other fish lovers :-)
Following on from a blog post earlier this week, Bron sent me a photo of the three storey castle in the fish tank Wolfie’s goldfish call home. Try as I might I couldn’t upload it into the original post, but I was so impressed I decided it needed a post of its own. Being more Continue reading
