I love to write, and started when I was just nine years old. By age eleven, (just weeks after I started high school) I was appointed editor of the school newspaper. My early twenties found me writing regular articles for the local council magazine, and many years later, I became editor and publisher for a staff newsletter for a large radiology company. This appointment continued for six years. My newsletter experience now spans more than fifteen years.
I am now published in novels, short stories, non-fiction books, poetry, and magazines articles. I also undertake copywriting and have clients booked up weeks in advance. (I don't know what I'm doing, but apparently it's working!)
As an added extra, I freelance as an editor for several publishers.
*My articles appear in publications all over the world - a dream I believed would never come to fruition. Perserverance and tenacity got me there.
Birth Place: Bright, Australia
Accomplishments: A truly major achievement for me has been staying alive. Only a few months old, cigarette ash was accidently dropped in my basinette, which then caught fire. I was rescued (obviously!) but the whole house was engulfed in flames and destroyed. Less than a year later, I almost drowned (twice on the same day) in the beautiful Ovens River in Porepunkah, and still have a fear of large volumes of water. On a separate occasion, I fell out of a moving car.

Emma Larkin was at her wits end.
Her murdered husband would be the death of her – literally. If she didn’t find out what ‘they’ were looking for, and soon, things could get serious.
Gary Bedford was an off-duty undercover cop looking forward to a relaxing break. Think again, Bedford!
