Moonlight Plains
I’ve been very fortunate to have some wonderful writing mentors and one of those is fellow north Queenslander, Barbara Hannay, who’s also a multi-award winning, best-selling author with over 6 millions books sold worldwide.

Hidden gem
I find it hard to believe that I lived in Brisbane on and off for thirty-five years and I never realised the beauty of South Stradbroke Island. Capt G and I used to camp on Moreton and Fraser Islands when we had our big old toyota land cruiser, but we never ventured to South Stradbroke. Continue reading
Safe Harbour
Dux anchorage on the western side of South Stradbroke Island has proven to be a wonderful safe harbour for us for the last two nights.

Busy, busy, busy…
Life’s pace is relentless at the moment, but it seems I’m a sucker for punishment and sleep is over-rated!! Last weekend I drove three hours to Lismore where the wonderful Rainbow Writers group from RWA had organised 26 willing participants to attend a masterclass with me. It’s been many years since I last visited Lismore Continue reading
