Welcome to my website

I love writing about Australia with all its variations of scene and climate. Of its cities, some bustling and cosmopolitan, some quiet and tranquil, all beautiful in their own individual way.  Of  the dry, arid and sometimes inhospitable interior to the green Eastern seaboard. And of the incredibly beautiful, sometimes dangerous, tropical Far North with its rainforests and savannahs,
 and the wondrous Great Barrier Reef.

Its people are as diverse as its countryside, they could provide the material for as many stories I could ever hope to write.

And the wildlife! What can be compared to the bounding kangaroo, the soft cuddly koala bear with its big round ears and black shoe button eyes, or the strange, duck billed, fur clad platypus that you expect to be ungainly, until you are lucky enough to spot the elusive creature swimming gracefully through the water.

My first novel, 'Inheritance', is a contemporary romance mystery set in Far North Queensland andis published by
Wings ePress.

I am also working on two other books.  The first is an historical novel set in the 1870's that moves from London to Sydney and then to Bulahdelah, in the countryside not far from where I now live. It includes historical detail and dynamic characters. The second, non fiction, is a cook book featuring healthy, low fat main meal recipes that may be prepared and cooked in thirty minutes or thereabouts. Called 'It doesn't have to be take-away', I hope it may be a small contribution towards helping to overcome the obesity crisis in the community today  I have worked as a freelance travel writer, having articles published in travel magazines, including Caravan Wold
