I had so much fun!
I'll be back in far north Queensland next winter, but I'll also be doing more library tours in 2026. It was fabulous to meet readers and I was very surprised to see a full house in Yeppoon at my last event.
The team at Livingstone (Yeppoon) Library are already talking about finding a larger event for next year and I'll be speaking with other regional libraries in the area to plan next years tour.
This year has been all about dipping my toe in the various types of events, including book and writers fairs and I've decided I really enjoy library visits the best.
If you'd like me to visit your library in 2026 or beyond, then please pass on my website contact details to your local library and ask them to touch base with me. I've already agreed to visit the Riverland in SA.
This area is near and dear to my heart because my family are from the area. I'll definitely be making time to get there in 2026. If you are near Berri etc and want me to visit, let me know.
While traveling, I dabbled in my favourite watersports, but I also did some research for future novels. A visit to the Rubyvale Gemfields sparked an idea for a Dawn Grave book. A day trip to Thursday Island got my mind working on another story, featuring Dawn and Clint flying in to the Cape York airport (which I took photos of just in case).
There were so many ideas rolling around my head, I just wanted to get started, but I need to finish writing Her Stowed Bones first. This book is due out before Christmas, so keep an eye out for updates as I get writing.
The best ways to stay up to date with all my news is to either following me on Facebook or join my exclusive readers club.

For now, here are a few highlights from the trip. You'll find more on Facebook and Instagram.
