USA Today Bestselling Author Demelza Carlton has always loved the ocean, but on her first snorkelling trip she found she was afraid of fish.
She has since swum with sea lions, sharks and sea cucumbers and stood on spray-drenched cliffs over a seething sea as a seven-metre cyclonic swell surged in, shattering a shipwreck below.
Sensationalist spin? No - Demelza tends to take a camera with her so she can capture and share the moment later; shipwrecks, sharks and all.
Demelza now lives in Perth, Western Australia, the shark attack capital of the world.
The Ocean's Gift series was her first foray into fiction, followed by the Nightmares trilogy. She swears the Mel Goes to Hell series ambushed her on a crowded train and wouldn't leave her alone. ...more

Swamp Soup

Okay, it's actually Pea, Chestnut and Bacon soup, based on this recipe from Chestnuts Australia, but the first time I made it, it was such a vivid green, it looked like something that had come out of a swamp, or a witch's cauldron. It tasted so incredible, though, that I couldn't resist making it again.

Ingredients:

400g cooked, peeled chestnuts

1L chicken or vegetable stock (I used chicken)

250g dic

Demelza Carlton answered David Holland's question: Why do you put the first part of your series on the Kobo but nothing else? I was thinking of trying them but as I have all my books on the Kobo - I would rather only try books that are all on the kobo. I don't understand - all my books are available on Kobo, not just the first books. Sometimes my preorders go up later on Kobo than other retailers, but they release on Kobo on the same day, so they're all available.

“An ambulance took four hours to reach a car accident and take the injured driver to hospital. He could have died in that time and he was lucky to live. I found myself practicing first aid skills I only knew from theory and courses, then later having to assume a level of responsibility I hadn't expected.”
