A huge thank you to every one who joined us last night at the North Queensland Aeroclub to help launch SAFE HARBOUR into the world. As always it was a fabulous evening and the only downside is I only took 3 photos! I’m hoping plenty of those who attended have photos they can share. Kerstin, 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!
After a wicked week at work, feeling like Chicken Little and wondering if the sky was really going to fall in, I’ve hit the weekend and collapsed in a heap. What better way to recover than to throw off the mooring lines and head to the bay. I’ve also fitted in a visit to Rowena Continue reading
Banksia Cove
Were you a devoted but trembling reader of Snuggle Pot and Cuddlepie’s stories? I’m not too proud to admit I used to hide my eyes when the Banskia Men appeared… I loved the ripple of alarm down my spine at the mere mention of their spikey black faces. At our family beach shack at Currumbin Continue reading
The Dedication for Safe Harbour
‘For Dolly, who, in the briefest of meetings, taught me the importance of being still.’ (SAFE HARBOUR 2014) It’s not often you meet someone briefly who has a profound effect on you. I met Dolly on a fishing trip out of Darwin a few years ago. Capt G and I were heading out with a Continue reading
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
Safe Harbour
You’d think that by book number five an author might be more laid back about the covers on their books, but it seems I’m not! And I hope I never lose the deep thrill of seeing the finished cover for the first time. Here’s SAFE HARBOUR’s gorgeous cover. I love the colours, the movement in Continue reading
Christmas Memories
Twenty-five years ago, when Capt G and I were a couple of fit young whippersnappers, we spent three months on pushbikes cycling through France, Spain and Italy in the depths of winter. We were poor as church mice with a budget of eleven pounds per day per person which had to pay for accommodation and Continue reading
Shockin’ Frockin’
Frocktober is almost done, but for the Romancing the Frock crew we’ve had one last push to reach our fund raising goals. If you haven’t already donated then please click on the link and dig deep for a great cause. Ovarian Cancer is an insidious disease which is all too often diagnosed late. You can find Continue reading
