I am embarking on a new adventure and trying to make my way in the world as a professional writer - Science fiction & crime mostly.

“Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” is finally available in print and audio book formats.
Senior Constable Ivy Driscoll is experiencing an unexpected and unwanted tree change. Following the disastrous end to her affair with a Chief Inspector, she has been relegated to the rural police station of Donnywell. Although she is the granddaughter of Country Women’s Association royalty, Ivy is quintessentially a city girl, knowing nothing of domestic life, baking or rural daily life and goings on.
She barely has time to unpack when she finds herself thrust into her new life. Within a day of her arrival, Chester Winterbourne, the president of the district poultry club and his prize-winning rooster are brutally murdered.
Disillusioned with the world, heart-broken and lacking in confidence, Ivy must solve the murders to prove herself fit for the job, win the hearts and minds of the locals, and hopefully get to know Paul, the dishy vet.
With the city and her old life behind her, will this enforced fresh start be just what Ivy needs?
