Profile Information:

Hometown:
Tweed Heads
About Me:
My first crime thriller 'Frantic' was released by Pan Macmillan in Australia in May 2007, and the second book in the series, 'The Darkest Hour', will be published in May 2008. The books will also be released in Europe in the coming year.
I was an ambulance officer for fifteen years and like to bung lots of that experience into the text. Much like my good buddy Leigh Redhead does, only with less pole dancing.

    Hi Katherine

    Wonderful news about "Frantic' - I'll keep a lookout for it and for 'Panic' when it comes (have you read Terry Lane's 'Hectic' - looks like it should be in your series.
