I am a writer and a teacher living on the beautiful South Coast of NSW. My love of crime stories comes from the tales my father told me growing up in Sydney. My father was a policeman for 37 years, ten of them as a police photographer for the Scientific Investigation Bureau of the NSW Police Force.
I have spent many years cross-checking his information with official records and his former colleagues to bring these stories to life. They tell about a by-gone era, before DNA and computers, where old-fashioned legwork solved crimes. Many of the villains and heroes are long gone, however I hope my stories brings back their memories. I have made these stories into a podcast, available on Spotify. I current have about 10K listeners.
I love research history and bringing those ture stories to life in a narrative style, bu capturing not only what the characterd did in real life, but the thinking behind their decisions.
I am honoured to receive the Highly Commended award in the New England Thunderbolt Prize for Non- Fiction Crime , after winning the same category last year. These two stories, as well as many others, appear in my novel My Father's Crimes.
Friends, Enemies and Lovers traces the bizarre journey of the two POWs as they move around the country, trying to adjust to a new culture. Edgardo was a master of escaping and was at one time the most wanted man in Australia. Angelo found love, and settled into life in his new country. This is a tale about overcoming mental and physical challenges, of racism and redemption. It is the story of the search for identity in a new country. Some of the events are unbelievable, but I have included them because they are all true. It tells of a different era in Australia: a war seen through different eyes. .
