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

Room to edit!
Phew… I’ve just walked back to my hotel in Sydney after slotting my latest edits for Shattered Sky into the Express Post Letterbox! I’m relieved, I’m excited and a little sad. There’s still work to be done, but it means that my friends in Shattered Sky are about to get shunted sidewards for my new Continue reading
Money dogs
I checked in for my flight to Sydney today just as the Australian Federal Police arrived to put one of their money dogs through its paces! Lennie, the black labrador did a stirling job of locating the money – you could say he dug up pay dirt I guess 🙂 I didn’t realise Australia used Continue reading
Yungaburra, book launches and editing…
Phew, what a busy last few weeks! Apologies for the lack of blogging, but life has been full. I didn’t realise how long a break I’d had until emails starting arriving asking if I was okay 🙂 Very happy to report I’m fine, my computer is fine, but my boss expects me to keep working Continue reading

Well, as the saying goes, have I got news for you! The name for my new novel has been released. SHATTERED SKY. It won by a full length (without the Continue reading

Sorry for the delay in announcing the winner of Christina Phillips fabulous new book FORBIDDEN…. The delay is all mine… It was very close, and indeed two people had nominated the same hero by another name, so we resorted to the random draw option. And the lucky winner is Louisa Cornell! Yay, Louisa!! Send me Continue reading
Family
My elderly mum (she’s 88!) is visiting from Brisbane. She was unwell at the start of the year and couldn’t be in Cairns for the launch of Border Watch. I missed having her there as she and Dad were so integral in developing my love of books and writing. Today we had coffee at Glaskins Continue reading
