Author Information

Hi, I live in Adelaide, Australia, and Deadly Secrets is my debut political conspiracy thriller/mystery novel. My short stories have been published in the UK anthology 'When Stars Will Shine'; the Australian anthology 'Fledglings'; the UK Writers' and Readers' Magazine and the Canadian Scarlet Leaf Review. My writing stems from an overactive interest in politics, life experience including a public service career spanning roles as diverse as Management trainer, Team Facilitator, Statistician, and Laboratory assistant. I've scribbled story snippets and scenes all my life, but in 2011 I got serious and completed a Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing, at Adelaide University. I had taken a variety of writing courses at Writers SA and WEA over the years. (My first degree is a Bachelor of Science (majoring in Chemistry).)My other passions are travelling, (which includes writing a travel journal and taking copious photos), live theatre, art, and of course, reading.
