    Hi Brian, I'm new to CrimeSpace and trying to touch base with as many fellow Aussies as I can, especially down here in Vic.

    Wow !! a published author, I will have to have a read. I have been trying to get my head around the rules and regs for mentioning public places and people in a storyline, not much info forthcoming, any pointers?? Only know two people in the film industry Mike Bishop actor/drama coach and the late sadly missed Lyn Bayonas, producer.

    I guess dialogue would certainly be your forte... Has the new book been published yet?

    Hi Brian - a pleasure to accept the hand of friendship. Have now joined a writing group that is headed up by Lindy Cameron, a very positive step, my writing has been given a huge boost, especially being around such inspirational women. Still struggling with dialogue.....sighs. Cheers Gaile
