| Deborah De Williams |
[Nov. 8th, 2008|11:27 pm] |
Today Tess (our elderly Jack Russell) and I were lucky enough to meet Deborah de Williams and her border collie Maggie, who are running for charity. They are attempting a world record run around Australia with 365 days on the road, and raising awareness of the search for a cure for breast cancer along the way. Deb's artist husband drives the wonderful pink support van. I was especially interested because of the tie-in with my book WILDERNESS (Eternal Press - www.eternalpress.ca ) which is also about a cancer survivor running for charity. To support Deb and Maggie and their team, check out www.runningpink.com.au .

| Treasury or Flowers |
[Sep. 14th, 2008|12:25 pm] |
I found A Treasury of Flowers by Alice M Coats at the market last week. It's too wet to walk there today, so I've been vegetating with the computer, Tilly-Trump, Jeanie and a pear... and the book. It's charming, with a fine turn of phrase. I'm bidding on another one by the same author at eBay. |

Miriam Moses is running for her life. She has a long way to go, and along the way she meets a string of people who turn out to be connected in a mesh of possibility.
Wilderness is where you find it... and Miriam is running for her life. |

| Under the Waterfall |
[Jul. 21st, 2008|12:26 am] |
Hi all! My new book, UNDER THE WATERFALL, is available now from Devine Destinies at www.devinedestinies.com.
Someone is out to kill Corrie!
Stranded at a campsite with her brain-damaged brother, Ethan, Corrie swims under a waterfall. She finds herself in the land of Sisterin, where women rule and men are subservient. As a female, Corrie should be among the favoured ones, but in Sisterin she is a nullard, a person without a trade. Only one person is prepared to help her, and that's a boy named Athen. He seems strangely familiar.
Dealing with a self-sufficient and healthy version of her brother Ethan is bad enough, but Corrie soon finds herself if deadly danger.
Under the Waterfall is available for download from www.devinedestinies.com for (US)$5.99.
If you buy a copy in the month of July, let me know and I'll send you a free copy of my century-hopping love story, "Replay".

| Happy New Year! |
[Jan. 1st, 2008|11:49 am] |
My resolution is to try to keep on top of things this year. Last year things got away from me somewhat, but this year I hope to catch up and stay caught up.
I know from experience there is no point in resolving to be tidy or organised. With four jack russells, several thousand books and various strong-minded relatives it's not going to happen!
Happy New Year, everyone-
