The Evolution of The Red Heart

In the years I lived in Alice Springs, it never occurred to me to write a book based in that location. I lived there seven years, started a couple of businesses, built a house and learnt to fly. None of The Red Heart is autobiographical, but my experiences whilst in the Northern Territory certainly influenced the book.

Learning to fly was something that I’d always wanted to do, but it seemed an imp Read more of this blog post »

One helliva cat Enjoyed the adventures- made a long train journey pass quickly. Some snicker out loud moments, even if I was astonished at the shit food Sloth keeps eating. I want a cat like Rookie.
