Safe Harbour

It’s release day for SAFE HARBOUR! We’re celebrating, bobbing at anchor in Horseshoe Bay off Peel Island, with an early coffee while we watch the sunrise. For something different I thought I’d share my Acknowledgements Page with you because some people need more of a thank you than I can fit in the limited space Continue reading


A huge thank you is in order!

I’ve just had the most fabulous weekend down in Sydney with Capt G attending the Australian Romance Readers Award dinner at Cello’s restaurant. It was fabulous catching up with readers and fellow writers for dinner on Saturday night. I was the ‘key note’ speaker which translated into ‘you’ll speak for a bit then we’ll launch Continue reading


I’m being sociable!

She always gets her man?

Of course! And why wouldn’t she? Isn’t everyone a sucker for a happy ending?? Last Friday in Melbourne I hope Leigh Redhead, Bronwyn Parry, Cheryl Wright and I convinced the audience we all need some optimism in our lives. And if we didn’t, we had fun trying! The panel discussion at the Sisters In Crime Continue reading


Writing process? What writing process?

The lovely Jenn J McLeod tagged me last week in a post about our writing process. No stranger to embracing a second chance or trying something different, Jenn took the first tentative steps towards her tree change in 2004, escaping Sydney’s corporate chaos to buy a small cafe in the seaside town of Sawtell. Moving Continue reading
