'A compulsive debut thriller that will haunt you long after you've turned the final page.

'In the sleepy, scenic Southern Highlands of New South Wales, a beautiful young woman goes missing.

'Six years later, recently divorced historian Rose McHugh leaves the city to start a new life in the Highlands and finds a roll of film buried in her back garden. On it are photos of the missing woman.

'Against the advice of an enigmatic detective, she uses her powers of persuasion and her knack for deciphering clues to pursue the case. As Rose searches through tangled secrets and hidden places haunted by the past, she realises there is a killer at large.

'As she makes new friends, and dangerous enemies, Rose closes in on a suspect—but will she solve the mystery too late to save herself?

'Set in the atmospheric villages and forests of the Southern Highlands, Echo Lake is a compulsive read that will keep you guessing until the very end.' (Publication summary)

A puppet drama for children based on the exploits of a gang of puppet feral animals in a fictional urban setting. The Ferals are the original urban wild bunch. Rattus, their leader, is tough, streetwise, and constantly arguing with Modigliana, the cat with a definite sense of style if not taste. Along with Mixy the rabbit and Derryn the not-too-bright dog, they hang out in the shed at the bottom of Joe's garden. The human characters are two university students and a young entrepreneur.
