It’s wonderful to see so many people rallying to help others. My publisher Hachette has made a very generous donation to the appeal and when I checked on the list of corporate donors on the website I was amazed at the extent of donations and the diversity of companies helping out. Lovely to see 🙂 Continue reading

The Artform of Re-Invention
I’ve done it! I’m a virgin no more. I’ve finally succumbed to a Tupperware Party. My credit card has taken a hiding, but I will shortly be the proud owner of several sets of durable plastic dishes that will change my life! Well, maybe not change my life, but certainly add some colour to my Continue reading
Cunning Camouflage
I know, I know. We always claim things are bigger in NQ, but today’s little visitor in the garden is the largest stick insect I’ve seen 🙂 Its camouflage was so good it almost fell victim to my clippers…
Architectural masterpiece
The nest is complete. All she needs now is her family. It even has a little awning which is handy in the tropics 🙂
And it’s done :-)
BURNING LIES (Book 3 in the Border Watch series) is now a little over halfway and 50,000 words long! Am I excited? Yep!!! And exhausted… Tomorrow morning I conduct my last simulator session as a Check Captain on the Dash 8 -300. Tomorrow night I will be celebrating not just going home after three years Continue reading
NaNoWriMo and other matters
Oh my what a month it’s been… Apologies to those that thought I’d vanished off the face of the planet, but November is not about growing a moustache for me (I don’t plan on entering the Guinness book of records for facial hair feats…)it’s about writing 50,000 words. Every year for the past four years Continue reading
Perfect Past
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
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
