I'm a writer and editor based in Melbourne, Australia. My first novel, To All Appearance, Dead - a murder mystery set at a conference for collectors of vintage girls' school stories - was published by Bettany Press in the UK in 2007. In 2004, I won the Scarlet Stiletto Award for the best short crime story written by a woman resident in Australia. The story appears in the anthology, Scarlet Stiletto: The First Cut. I was runner-up in the Scarlet Stiletto Award in 2007 and still hope to win that elusive second shoe one day!
I have also contributed to the true-crime anthologies Meaner Than Fiction, Outside the Law 2 and Outside the Law 3.
I've always been an avid reader and crime has always been my favourite genre. Crime shows are also the only thing I watch on the telly these days!
