Latest Book: The Quakers
Wakefield Press, Adelaide, 2008
On the day of an earthquake a group of outsiders become friends and for the next fourteen years they will call themselves The Quakers. At the centre of this group is the beautiful Narinda, whose energy draws both men and women towards her. The Quakers is a love story with a twist, where friendships turns to obsession and addictions lead to murder.
