BURNING LIES (Book 3 in the Border Watch series) is now a little over halfway and 50,000 words long! Am I excited? Yep!!! And exhausted… Tomorrow morning I conduct my last simulator session as a Check Captain on the Dash 8 -300. Tomorrow night I will be celebrating not just going home after three years Continue reading

NaNoWriMo and other matters
Oh my what a month it’s been… Apologies to those that thought I’d vanished off the face of the planet, but November is not about growing a moustache for me (I don’t plan on entering the Guinness book of records for facial hair feats…)it’s about writing 50,000 words. Every year for the past four years Continue reading
Perfect Past
On a recent visit to my mum’s house I tried to find my copy of Pookie the White Rabbit – my favourite children’s book. Unfortunately it seems to have vanished, but the top shelf in my old cupboard turned up some classics. It seems I was destined to write Romantic Suspense (and fly aircraft) from Continue reading
1980 was a very good year !
Who knew that school reunions could be so much fun? I spent Saturday night with fifty of my old classmates at our 30 yr reunion (don’t sweat the maths – it means we’re closer to 50 than 40…) Most of us haven’t seen each other for ten years since the last reunion or, in my Continue reading
So, what do you think?
It’s official I have two new covers! (No, not bedspreads as my silly husband just suggested…. duh…) I know this may seem a little odd, but Border Watch is being re-released as WINGS of FEAR, complete with a new look cover. ‘Why?’ I hear you ask (as did I). It seems the feedback from booksellers was that Continue reading
The e-book revolution!
In a couple of days Border Watch will be available as an ebook on the iBook Apple site! I’m very excited that Hachette has joined the e-revolution, though a little nervous as well… Booksellers have been incredibly supportive, hand-selling Border Watch to a stack of happy customers and I thank them for that. I’d hate Continue reading
Honey of a day!
It’s that time of year! The bees have been buzzing their little wings off and the hive is full of honey 🙂 My mate Jack with one of the full frames
Karly Blakemore-Mowle
I’m very excited to be able to welcome another Australian Romantic Suspense author, Karly Blakemore-Mowle, to my blog today! Karly’s a very prolific author with three books released this year. I read her book FALLOUT a couple of months ago and loved it! OPERATION SUMMER STORM is out now with Wild Rose Press. THE CATTLEMAN’S RUNAWAY Continue reading
Green Ant Dance
Gardening in the tropics has many perils. (Most of them involve men with chainsaws or the over zealous use of pruning equipment – normally by my husband…) We had a half yearly cut-back yesterday and mother nature got her revenge 🙂 In the photo my husband is performing the Green Ant Dance. When you disturb Continue reading
This ‘sim life’
For those of you in aviation the photos in this blog will be very familiar (and not always in a happy way…) To those of you who don’t fly this is glimpse into a full flight simulator where pilots are trained and then checked on a regular basis – in our case every three months. Continue reading
