I'm a native of Adelaide, South Australia, and an avid reader and writer. I particularly like characters that I can relate to and awesome plot turns that catch me totally off guard. Before I started writing I was a freelance illustrator around Fleet Street, London. I later spent a number of years in Queensland where I Illustrated a children's book for Angus & Robertson (as Julie Mac). My last few years have been in Spain, and my co-authored book, 'Out Of The Box: The Highs and Lows of a Champion Smuggler' was published by Roaring Forties Press in November 2014, and by Hachette ANZ in June 2015. Our second book is a work of fiction. 'She' is a mystery crime-thriller, published in August, 2019, by Blossom Spring Publishing, U.K.
