Beach Apples
My latest book, Beach Apples, has now been published. Beach Apples is a collection of short stories— contemporary, mystery and science fiction—all with an Australian flavour.
From a walk on the beach, to fire-fighting in the Adelaide Hills, to a refugee’s story, some stories will put a smile on your face, while others will fire your imagination. Fun holiday reading!
The book is available for a free download now on Smashwords
or for the price of 99c from Amazon.
Hopefully it will soon become free on Amazon as well, but at the moment it is the minimum price of 99c.
Coming Soon – Beach Apples (an Australian short story anthology)
Beach Apples are native South Australian berries which grow in the sand hills by the beach on running ground cover. They are often called “Muntries,” based on the aboriginal word for the fruit, from the Kaurna and Ngarrinderi peoples. They taste like apples and are high in anti-oxidents. All the stories in this collection have an Australian flavour.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Today’s post is the last installment for Christmas Season 2014. It is not about celebrating the New Year, but rather about the traditional celebrations of Twelfth Night, the last big party of the holiday season in the Georgian Era. Before we go into the period traditions of the celebrations of this holiday, let us begin by talking about what Twelfth Night is, and how Christmas season celebrations have changed over the years.
The origins of the Twelfth Night celebration go back to pre-Christian traditions in Europe. The Roman winter celebrations of Saturnalia and the Celtic Yule feasts continued even after Christianity began to dominate in the region. Many Celts believed in the “Sacred King” who would be sacrificed to the land. His spilled blood anointed and fertilized the land. Catholic priests preaching the Gospels to the Celts discouraged such sacrifices, but allowed the people to continue their celebrations. The “Sacred King”…

Drive Men Crazy – Seven #SexySnippets on #MySexySaturday with #SaturdayScenes
Motorcycles, mermaids and MMA – in the 1920s, no less. This week’s about historical fiction and that describes my whole Turbulence and Triumph series on the Indian Ocean in the Roaring Twenties. This week’s snippet comes from the first Turbulence and Triumph book, Ocean’s Justice (which is FREE all weekend!). It’s a good thing my heroine doesn’t like dresses in today’s seven snippets:
“I don’t know what it is about you, but you drive men crazy with how much we want you. I know if you were mine, I’d never want to let you go,” William said as he squeezed my hand. “Probably a good thing you don’t understand me, for if I’d said that to any of the girls back home, they’d be buying a wedding dress that very day.”
I clasped his hand tightly in both of mine, shaken at the message in his eyes that he’d reinforced…

Undergarments Optional with Apologies – #SexySnippets
I’m in a teasing mood and normally I usually post something one of the men do to the women. Today, why not turn the proverbial tables, right? This next scene for today’s Nuthouse Scribblers‘ Sexy Snippets is taken from The Broken Men Chronicles series, more specifically, from Play Me to Infinity. If you like a spunky female and an equally stubborn male lead, you won’t be disappointed with the playful nature of these two, so let’s set the scene!
Working together can sometimes bring out the best or the worse in a couple. In this particular scene, Nicole makes use of her assets to not only apologize but to make things better for overstepping her bounds on a work-related decision. With a quick look-see to their playfulness, something tells me that forgiveness is not too far behind…
“You’re in so much trouble already and yet you look like…

Welcome to the Hydrodome
A blast from the past 🙂
Advertisement from the Mirror, 8 January 1927
The South Beach Hydrodome was THE place to be seen. Tearooms, beach and swimming baths; a dedicated tram service to take you there…even shark netting to keep uninvited guests out.
Opened in 1923, the Hydrodome was definitely a feature of Fremantle life in the 1920s, so setting my historical fiction series there meant I had to include it. How could Maria live in Fremantle and NOT visit South Beach? According to ads at the time, there were no sad sea waves, flies or sharks. Not that she minded sharks…
South Beach
South Beach was a preferred swimming and recreation spot from the beginning of the twentieth century. A tramline was constructed from Fremantle to South Beach, which opened in 1905.
South Beach was officially declared “open” for public recreation by the Governor Sir Gerald Strickland on 15 November 1909 and gazetted as a reserve…

Rosa thinks she’s found the perfect man to introduce her to the delights of the flesh – the sexy star of her stepbrother Roberto’s latest film. But when she arranges a moonlit assignation, little does she realise it is Roberto himself who keeps it.
Roberto might be a world famous movie director with ‘the world at his feet’, but he can’t seem to get Rosa to show the slightest bit of interest in him as a man. Yet even though she doesn’t seem to want him, he can’t bear the thought of anyone else having her. And so he does the unthinkable, substituting himself for her boyfriend on the night of their tryst. He may have wanted her for as long as he can remember, but will she ever forgive him?
