I’ve always been a bit of a beachcomber. Since I know I won’t have room for all my little treasures on the yacht I’ve started collecting photos of things that catch my eye. This is a cuttle fish on a clump of seaweed washed up on Four Mile beach at Port Douglas. Found anything interesting Continue reading

Perfecting the pitch?
Sadly my singing voice is definitely in retirement and my flute is unlikely to ever be pitch perfect again so I’m not talking ‘perfecting the pitch’ in a musical sense… Today I’m over at the Romance Writers of Australia blog talking about my journey from pitch to publication. RWA is running a series of interviews Continue reading
RuBYs and Diamonds
I’m exhausted, I’m uplifted, I’m smiling, I’m suffering brain overload, I’m inspired and I’m finally home. That can mean only one thing – I’ve been to the RWA Diamonds Are Forever conference on the Gold Coast. Every year it gets better and this was no exception. The fact a professional organistation like RWA is run Continue reading
Lucky Black Cat!
Steph and her team did it again! Black Cat Books and Cafe at Paddington turned on a wonderful evening to launch ‘Burning Lies’ in Brisbane. Thanks to everyone who made the trek on a chilly Brisbane night. Kevin Gillespie from the Queensland Writers Centre did the honours and launched the book. It was lovely to Continue reading

Burning Lies
Today is release day for BURNING LIES. For me it’s just another day in the office so I hope the gorgeous cover is catching the eye of readers all over Australia while I fly from Townsville to Mount Isa and home to Cairns:-) To help celebrate I’m visiting two of my favourite blogs today. On Continue reading
When catching the fish isn’t the real prize
One of the tiny pleasures of spending so much time on flights being repositioned to different bases as a passenger, rather than working as the operating crew, is being able to watch movies. On today’s flight home the movie was ‘Salmon Fishing in The Yemen‘ and what a delight! I’ve always had a soft spot Continue reading
R*BY 2012
Today was supposed to be a no blog day. In fact it was supposed to be a limited internet day as I’m hurtling towards a deadline with the story still taking shape. I’m on reserve for flying hoping the phone doesn’t ring but I just have to share my good news! Shattered Sky has made Continue reading
