The Unexpected Rewards of Research
I battled weight problems for most of my life. I joined every diet club and followed every diet plan known to humankind. I listened to doctors, nutritionists and experts.

Murder Most Foul
In January 1941, the body of Josslyn Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll, was discovered outside of Nairobi, Kenya - a bullet through his handsome head. His murder shocked British high society, and even more shocking was that evidence suggested his killer might be a member of the aristocratic colonial set.
The Songlines
In my novel The Dreaming, Joanna Drury arrives in Australia 1871 on a quest to solve a mystery that has haunted her all her life. During this quest, while experiencing adventure, danger and romance, Joanna discovers that, in order to get to the bottom of the mystery that plagues her - or she will never know true happiness - she must follow something called Songlines, the invisible pathways along which Australian Aborigines have traveled for thousands of years to perform their sacred and cultural rites.
