Today I welcome Lily to my blog. Her story, as told by Phillipa Fioretti in THE BOOK OF LOVE, took me on a journey through Antiquarian Bookshops and the streets of Rome. All the while I battled to contain my vintage frock envy… She re-introduced me to the delights of jam and toast (I’d fallen Continue reading

Lauren’s story
The following interview took place before Shattered Sky was written so this is a glimpse into Lauren’s world before she had a run in with the Nemesis Out-Lawed Motorcycle Gang. I’m hoping to catch up with her again soon to chat to her about her latest story. Lauren, thanks so much for standing in at Continue reading
Location, location!
We’re off up the range tomorrow to catch up with friends in Tolga on the Atherton Tablelands. I’m looking forward not just to the wonderful scenery, but to the great company – it’s guaranteed to be a very funny trip!

Swarming, the official term for heading off in a huff, is reasonably common. It’s where a break away group fly away to set up a Continue reading
Heading west
If I don’t feel like a walk on the beach in the morning there’re always the hills and the paddocks. A large mob of roos call this field home and the horses who share it with them are amiable sorts. I love the way the cloud pours down the sides of the mountains at this Continue reading
Claudia takes a break to chat
Lisa Heidke very kindly agreed to tee up an interview with Claudia whose story she told in Claudia’s Big Break. I was a little nervous as Claudia seems to me to be the consummate party girl and I’m always a little in awe of women like her… But she was lovely, so here’s what we Continue reading
