Sebastien Ochoa, the main man in my action-adventure, The First Guerrilla, is nothing like Che Guevara. I hope that doesn’t disappoint you. It disappoints me. I really wanted to write a book about a guy like Che. The coolest of the cool for 1960s dropouts and cafe bar revolutionaries. I’ve been to Asia, the US […]

It’s October, so Australia goes to daylight saving time. Well, half of it does. In Queensland and Western Australia we just plod on as normal. Believe it or not, despite four referendums on the subject – I only remember two but Facebook insists there were four, so that must be true – the debate about […]
Time for a bit of bragging …. thanks JDS. and Lucy O You buy it here … it’s only 0.99 cents US (and whetever Amazon’s exchange rate calculator makes that on Amazon.com,.au and Amazon.co.uk 🙂 ) https://www.amazon.com.au/Meet-Me-at-Hanging-Tree-ebook/dp/B07TD1BP15/ Reviewers are the most wonderful people – provided they give you more than 3, I guess – reviews […]

Reacher is completely unforgivable. Yet I can’t help loving the little guy. Top Gun’s the best. The Mission Impossible movies are close behind – except for one […]
Nearly there!

It’s called Welcome to Western Australia and it’s based on my mother-in-law’s reminiscences about life in the Graylands migrant hostel in the early 1960s. Thanks Enid! —— Mary thanked the driver, tucked her purse strap into the crook of her elbow and […]
Who knew American vernacular was so different from Australian slang? Okay, all of us did, to some extent, but stay with me on this, you may be as surprised as I was. I’ve watched American TV for thirty years. They speak American on Quincy, Bonanza, Big Bang Theory and CSI, don’t they? We’ve spent months […]
I’ve posted another free story you can download. This one’s called Passing Premonition. It’s a spooky tale about a teenage boy’s paranormal experience. I Hope you like it. https://www.beachreads.com.au/free-stuff/
