Welcome dear reader!
I’m so pleased you found my website. So far, I have produced three books of fiction short stories, listed below.
‘Life’s Winners...and a Few Losers’ is an anthology of 20 briefer writings whereas ‘Five in the Quiver’ contains
five quite long stories, three of which are sequels to some in the earlier publication.
Then, released in September, 2023 'A Hand of Aces' followed - two novellas in the one volume.
I like to centre around motivational themes, highlighting challenges my characters have thrust upon them.
They need to either sink or swim.
As you will see, they persevere, refusing to be swamped by circumstances beyond their control.
Now, to some exciting news…
New Release!
“A thrilling ride through espionage and murder that makes the heart race with each page. Excellent!”
'Code 1990': An edge-of-your seat political thriller.
“Political intrigue melded into the lives of ordinary people on alert for the biggest tyrannical upset in Australian politics. As a hit-and-run cold case crosses the desk of Detective-Sergeant Lillian Boyd, she pulls at the thread of the tiniest clue to lead to the killer. Thus she starts to unravel an undercover spy ring that has had plans in the pipeline for years to bring down the Australian way of life and insert a terror regime like no other. But will it be too late to stop the conspiracy?”

Life’s Winners…
and a Few Losers
Ordinary people – cast into difficult and sometimes
threatening circumstances.
There is courage aplenty to remedy injustice
or bring about much-needed change.
Five in the Quiver
Life's challenges . . . sometimes we seek them,
but at other times they are forced upon us.
We trust we will rise to the occasion and prevail,
although the outcome is never guaranteed.
What do we need to win through? Courage?
Determination? Persistence? A desire for justice?
