Autorenporträt

Hi. I'm glad you dropped by. Let me tell you a little more about myself.

I live in South Australia, in the seaside suburb of Glenelg. The esplanade is a great place for long 'thinking' walks to dream up tantalising plots.

I'm the author of two Australian mystery suspense thrillers with political intrigue and mature women amateur sleuths, Lethal Legacy, and Deadly Secrets.

My short stories have appeared in the Uk anthologies in the UK, Aust, and the USA and in Canadian, US and UK magazines.

I didn't start taking creative writing seriously until I took early retirement. Writing had taken a back seat while I studied (my first degree is a Bachelor of Science, major in Chemistry), pursued a career, and raised a family although my mind still filled with ideas and plot lines that I filed in the bottom drawer.

I pay attention to the corporate and political world, especially scandals, and my mind is often asks 'what if' questions that generate plot ideas with political intrigue.

My main characters are mature women amateur sleuths. They're not government agents, spies, or gun-toting police officers. They're ordinary people, in ordinary jobs, not the usual heroes in thrillers. My main theme is ordinary people can make a difference.

I also love to include elements from my other passions into stories, especially inspirational locations from my travels. Even though my novels are set mostly in Adelaide, Sydney, and outback Australia, some of the action also takes place in Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Amsterdam, and other interesting settings. The gallery on my website showcases photos (from my travels) that I've used in my stories.

I'm a theatre buff, love art exhibitions, and of course, I'm an avid reader. My writing often reflects the kinds of books I like to read. I hope you enjoy them too.
