Despite the rain pelting down we left Perth under a double rainbow – an auspicious start which delivered on its promise. The audience at Bunbury Library were lovely and asked some excellent questions. Thanks to Debra and her team for hosting the event. It was great to meet you all. I did venture out for a Continue reading

Not even fog could stop us getting to Kalamunda Library!
After a flying visit to see Mum before I left Brisbane we got to the airport to discover fog in Sydney was playing havoc with airline schedules. Instead of arriving in Perth with plenty of time to check into the hotel and enjoy Perth’s ambience Ali, my publicist from Get Reading Australia for this leg Continue reading
Warwick, Chermside now onto Perth!
It’s been a while since I’ve visited Warwick, but driving up through Cunningham’s Gap, with the rain coming down and lines of large trucks groaning under their load as they laboured up the incline, brought back many memories. As we crested the hill approaching Warwick and several churches poked their spires up through the trees Continue reading
Get Reading in Caloundra and Redcliffe
I started the day in a rainy Cairns and finished in a chilly Brisbane. Along the way I chatted with readers, writers and an old friend in Caloundra and Redcliffe. Thanks to Belinda from Get Reading I was on time and on track – nothing more a pilot could ask for! Thanks to Simone and Continue reading
Good news week!
Capt G and Zeus are suffering from too much excitement this week. Here we are on a gorgeous Sunday morning and my boys are both snoring their heads off!! Evidence is indisputable.

World Wide!
There’s nothing like good news in the morning! My sister, my nephew, my niece and several friends have all downloaded Half Moon Bay in various corners of the globe. So what, you may well be wondering? This is the first time one of my books has been released simultaneously around the world as an e-book Continue reading
Half Moon Bay
The 22nd of May is an auspicious day for me. I only knew one of my grandparents so Grandma Millett was extra special. Born on the 22nd of May, 1897, she was a rounded, huggable old lady, with her hair in a braided coronet, who lived a full and active life until she was 97. Continue reading
Clear sight
With packing comes a deluge of memories. It’s impossible not to sort through cupboards and boxes without finding long forgotten treasures which bring the past to life. Some items are too precious to ever throw away, no matter their disrepair. Dad’s old binoculars were carefully rewrapped and stowed with the photo albums. I have two shiny Continue reading
