about me

************
I am an Aussie, married to a musician and we live in Queensland. I was a freelance writer for years and am now content to write what I want to write, not what others want me to write. I have five books in a state of constant flux, but whether they will all get finished is moot.

What I offer here for your escapist reading pleasure is Strange Bodies, a murder mystery set some years in the future. After spending a couple of months researching possible outcomes of current day predictions I give you my take on the world about 50 to 60 years hence.

In spite of the sheer nastiness of certain parts it also contains a little humour, a touch of romance, a soupcon of sex and a talking dog called Rolf.

But it is a classic mystery for all that; I play fair and it has enough clues for someone to work out who the murderer is. No one has to date. It could be you!

SB is complete but not all 36 chapters are uploaded.

I support books I feel drawn to, ie, ones I would buy. I rarely comment other than to say I like a book. If I back your book it means I like it and have read at least some of it. I cannot read a book that ignores the rules of grammar, spelling and punctuation, unless the story is so riveting it takes precedence. I haven't found one yet.

I don't do swap reads, neither do I read YA, childrens' or religious books, mis lit. Not keen on paranormal or horror either.

Generic spam is deleted. My WL is currently full.

Thank you to all who supported Blue Diamonds to the ED in December. The review was made public recently. It is still available on request and may become an e-book shortly.
