Book Review: Fifty Shades of Grey

Okay I caved and actually read this book. Have you heard the expression 'curiosity killed the cat'? Christian Grey. Where do I start? Fifty shades of mental illness. How on earth this guy ever got around to making $100,000.00 an hour is a miracle. He spends hours training. I mean let’s be real here. You need to be in shape to be…See More

The Angry Woman Suite

The Angry Woman Suite is an unexpected novel. Most authors shy away from having more than one protagonist. Lee Fullbright has three.This different take actually works which I found surprising, as I have rarely come across a book where that tactic doesn’t lead to confusion and chaos for the reader.The supporting…See More

Self publishing or self indulgence ???

Lately I have been receiving e-mails from authors requesting that I review their books.Sounds good so far…free books.But let’s look at the last three books that have come my way.Corpalism by Arun D Ellis: The first two parts of the book were wordy, with too much exposition and seemingly unrelated to each other.

Oh but their weird and their wonderful…

I came across some of these and well…I can’t stop laughing.I’m not sure if I am laughing at the product – or the idiot that came up with it.1. The Hands Free Pump Bra – seriously.Because we all would have worn this around the house while doing chores.When you are ready to pump, just slip in the pumping horns (that’s really what they’re called) add your bottles, hook up your pump and – there you go.Easy peasy……See More

Profile Information

Who I am:
I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.

Grew up in Sydney and Wollongong. Left to explore the wilds of Africa, doing a detour that had me living in Holland for 3 years.

Eventually returned to Oz – living in Queensland, where you need instructions if you are to survive.

In 1993 packed up and headed to the land of the long white cloud, which is not true.

Summers here are astoundingly beautiful and blue.

Now the kids have gone out to explore life – well for once it is all about me.

Graduated with a Bachelor of Communications from Massey University in 2008. other than the birth of my children it was the most defining moment of my life.

I live with a demented fox terrier called Chevvy, 2 cats, a female named Jack and a male named Charlie, as well as a cockatiel named Crash.

I am writing my first novel, as well as poetry, short stories, and more recently articles, e-books, and web-pages for a website.
