The Skinny Spell

If you could click your fingers and be skinny, would you do it?

Evie Swan has a great life, an amazing job, a beautiful child, and a big problem: she is fat. Evie is desperate to lose weight, but every diet she’s tried has failed.

One day, Evie meets a mysterious stranger who gives her a magic mirror. The mirror is a portal to an alternate universe where Evie’s life is the same in every way except one. On the other side of the mirror, she has the skinny body of her dreams.

But the spell comes with conditions. Evie has three chances to use the mirror, and one choice to make. She must decide whether to be fat or to be thin.

The decision about which body to choose seems like a no-brainer. But Evie’s adventures through the mirror make her choice less straightforward than expected.

After you Came

Stuart Kingston had enough of tripping over dead bodies during 1987… unfortunately 1988 doesn’t look like being any different.

As Bicentennial celebrations begin in Sydney, David Wyatt, a young gay man, is found murdered in an alleyway in Darlinghurst. With few leads, Inspector Carrington enlists Stuart to escort his constable undercover at Touchstone sauna, the last place that David was seen alive. Can Carrington catch the killer before more men are murdered? And can Stuart stop thinking about his former lover, the hunky carpenter Dexter, for long enough to be of any help?

In this sequel to The Day Before You Came, all the much-loved characters return, including Stuart’s mother Miriam, who has a new career on daytime TV, and his theatre friend, Winston, who meets a mysterious stranger.

So, strap in for another camp ride through the Eastern Suburbs, where anyone can be a murderer, and no-one is quite as they seem.

The Ancestral Ring of Hope

A high price for freedom in war torn Hungary

Inspired by true events.

István was a young man when the Iron Curtain blanketed Eastern Europe after the Second World War, vandalising the fabric of Hungarian society. Tortured for criticising the tyranny suffered under Communism, he conspires with likeminded rebels to retaliate and regain their liberty. But the Soviet masters are uncompromising. During twelve days in late 1956, the full might of Russia is unleashed, crushing the revolution. István’s fate is sealed. Fleeing reprisal and certain death is vital for he and his beautiful and beloved wife Natália. The Captain of Gyor Police Headquarters, Viktor Molnár, has other plans, thwarting and executing fugitives. Obsessed with Natália—his new elusive prize—Viktor stops at nothing to attain her.

The Ancestral Ring of Hope is a compelling story of love, grief, courage, and a resolute quest for freedom. Parallels between this novel and the horror unfolding in Ukraine at the hands of Russia’s dictator proves history does repeat. It’s a timely reminder of the fragility of peace and democracy and how easily they can be shattered by tyrants seeking power.
