“Writing fiction is a ride into the unknown: exhilarating and rewarding, scary and liberating.
And not a trace of AI ! – every letter, sentence and paragraph is created by me”
After the fall, nowhere is safe…
Identity, legacy and revenge, this thriller takes you on a wild ride with mind-blowing twists. I defy anyone to untangle its webs of deceit to figure out whodunnit before the end.

About me
My home, where I live with my husband and cavoodle, is in the village of Bundanoon, where we enjoy cold, frosty winters and fresh, warm summers. Around us, native animals and birds abound, from kangaroos, wombats and echidnas to kookaburras, cockatoos and king parrots. Autumn is my favourite time and through my study window I watch as leaves turn vivid red, yellow, purple and orange – a perfect recipe for creativity.
