I suppose reader identification with character is an acid test of a writer’s success. My choices might be quite different tomorrow or even in an hour’s time, but these live for me, with qualities I aspire to, rather than share:

Heidi, when I was a child. “I want to go about like the light-footed goats.”

Paola Brunetti, wife of Commissario Brunetti, the detective in Donna Leon’s fabulous books set in Venice. While I fail to understand her routine of whipping home from university to prepare mouth-watering lunches for her family, her amusing stories about her colleagues and students ring so true. She is sometimes her husband’s fiercest critic but always his greatest friend.

Inspector Kate Miskin, loyal off-sider to Adam Dalgliesh, in many novels by P.D. James. Unlike most fictional detectives, she’s the ideal team player, without ego, yet independent, clever and courageous.(less)

The characters and several plot lines evolved in my imagination as I enjoyed breaks on resort islands and observed worrying damage to the environment. But it was not until returning to Sydney that I could start developing the idea in earnest. (less)

The next Fiji Islands Mystery!

I'm thrilled to tell you my next book is coming up. I've finished the first draft, revised it and will send it to my editor next week.

I'll let you know the title very soon. For now, I can say #6 in my Fiji Islands Mysteries presents a disturbing case which provokes DI Joe Horseman to make profound choices aoubt his future.
I promise more details soon. In the meantime,

Happy reading!

Bernadette

Helen Fielding
“It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting "Cathy" and banging your head against a tree.”
Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones’s Diary
