Richard Ridge - my new book

My latest book, 'Richard Ridge: Convict, Trader and Bailiff in Early Colonial NSW', has engaged my researching, thinking and writing skills for around fifteen years, on and off.

Richard's story had to be built up from scraps. That's the part I enjoy - looking for clues and evidence, turning back in blind alleys, solving puzzles. It's quite amazing how the lives of the earliest convict settlers of Read more of this blog post »

The Point of Light by John Ellsworth
"In the past few years, historical fiction involving the Holocaust has become en vogue. Many of these books are excellent, well written, and deserving of being read. This book is not among that group.

"Honestly, if I could give it a MINUS star, I would. This is a self-published book, and clearly the author never proofread his work. In the first part of the book, a main character has dark curly hair, at the end, it's stated he is blond, blue-eyed. G" Read more of this review »

No worries. I've been too busy elsewhere to notice happenings on Goodreads, which I too find somewhat difficult to navigate! There are plenty of other books on my 'Want to Read' list - I hope to make a start on them soon.


Louise Wilson Eliza wrote: "Still trying to understand how Goodreads works! I would like to suggest reading Grace Calloway's books. I particularly like: 'Her Husband's Harlot'. Would love to hear what you think?"

OK, that author's new to me. I'll add that title to the list and let you know.
