Welcome to my website

After years of writing non-fiction, it is a thrill to produce a book of pure, exciting fiction and launch it here.

The Fatal Path is set in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia, with twins, murder, intrigue, romance, sport and a powerful psychological undercurrent which leads to a dramatic climax. It will keep you guessing until the final pages. Available now!

THE WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN
… the story sweeps across Australia, the US and England … The action is superbly paced … the timeline swaps between childhood rivalries and secrets, disputed stories and manipulative adult relationships … ripe for a TV series.

GOODREADS

A gripping read throughout. The characters were intriguing and believable and you could feel empathetic for them. It had me turning the pages. Keep them coming.
