Brekkie at Bordertown, South Australia
The menu wasn't wrong when it said "very thick toast." The black stuff is Vegemite.

...to announce the release of my latest mystery, FATAL LIAISON:
The lives of two strangers, Greg Jenkins and Megan Brighton, become inextricably entangled when they each sign up for a dinner dating agency. Greg's reason for joining has nothing to do with looking for love. His recently divorced sister Sam has disappeared and Greg is convinced that Dinner for Twelve, or at least one of its clients, may be responsible. Neither is Megan looking for love. Although single, she only joined at her best friend Brenda De Luca's insistence. When a client of the dating agency is murdered, suspicion falls on several of the members. Then Megan's friend Brenda disappears without trace, and Megan and Greg join forces. Will they find Sam and Brenda, or are they about to step into the same inescapable snare?

Lunchtime for an Azure Kingfisher
Photo courtesy of Lyn Hardwood, owner of Riverbed Cottage. If you're looking for a relaxing holiday close to nature, you can't go past this place. Alan and I love it, and if it were closer to home we'd be there every second weekend . All our Gipsy Point photos were taken while staying there.

Superb Fairy-wrens
This juvenile started life with no tail, and the tail he has now is nothing like the rest of his family's. I hope he survives.

...to announce that Thin Blood has just been released as an audio book.
Narrated by Basil Sands
$34.95 $12.99 (save 63%)
Craig Edmonds, a successful stockbroker, reports the disappearance of his wife, Kirsty. What starts as a typical missing person’s case soon evolves into a full-blown homicide investigation when forensics uncover blood traces and dark-blonde hairs in the boot of the missing woman’s car. Added to this, is Craig’s adulterous affair with the victim’s younger sister, Narelle Croswell, compounded further by a recently acquired $1,000,000 insurance policy on his wife’s life. He is charged with murder but, with no body and only circumstantial evidence, he walks free when two trials resulting in hung juries fail to convict him.
Ten years later, Jacinta Deller, a newspaper journalist is retrenched. Working on a freelance story about missing persons, she comes across the all but forgotten Edmonds case. When she discovers her boyfriend, Brett Rhodes, works with Narelle Croswell, who is not only the victim’s sister but is now married to the prime suspect, her sister’s husband, she thinks she has found the perfect angle for her article. Instead, her life is turned upside down, as befriending the woman, she becomes embroiled in a warped game of delusion and murder.
