I have just become a member and will be starting off my library with my own books.

I am an award-winning Australian author with nine published novels to date, including a quartet of mystery novels which have just been released as ebooks by Wakefield Press. The first of these, The Trojan Dog' was joint winner, ACT book of the year. They are set in Canberra and feature security consultant Sandra Mahoney. There is one book for each season, beginning with winter and ending with for fourth book, autumn, aptly titled 'The Fourth Season'.
Two of my literary novels, 'Ruth' and 'One for the Master' have been shortlisted for the Miles Franklin award.I recently self-published a collection of short stories, 'Eight Pieces on Prostitution'. My short stories and essays have been widely published in journals and anthologies and I review fiction for the Fairfax Press. I lived in Canberra for thirty years before returning to Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula, where I was born.
