Gina has worked as a physiotherapist, a pilot, freelance writer and a dog breeder.

As a result she became travel-addicted and spent the year after university bumming around SE Asia, China and Australia, where she worked in a racing stables in Pinjarra, South of Perth. After getting stuck in black sand in the Ute one time too many (and getting a tractor and trailer caught in a tree) she was relegated to horse-riding work only.

Audiobook of Murder in the Cards

I have just finished an audiobook of Murder in the Cards by Gina Cheyne (I put my surname there because I saw that there is another audiobook book also called Murder in the Cards but completely different and not by me!)
This is the first time I’ve made an audiobook and it really was an exciting experience. Unlike writing a book, where you do everything alone, in a audiobook you share every experien Read more of this blog post »

A wonderful gentle mystery so typical of how a writer looks for things not seen by others. In some places very funny. Also a lovely romance.

Fabulous! I loved the bits with Evelyn the most and I wished she was more prevalent, but the little family grew on me and I became touched by them too. Her writing is wonderful, poetic.
