She came to Australia for adventure. She found something far darker.
When a young English backpacker sets out to explore the wild beauty of Australia’s Outback, she expects sunsets, freedom, and maybe a little danger. What she doesn’t expect is a charming stranger whose secrets run deep, or a journey that will twist into her worst nightmare.
As her dream holiday spirals into terror, she thinks she’s escaped. But some nightmares don’t end when you wake up. Shadows from the past follow her across the vast, unforgiving land, and when five travelers vanish without a trace, a chilling diary hints at what really happened in the red heart of Australia.
Beneath the sun-scorched desert, something ancient and merciless is waiting. And it knows her name.
Gripping, atmospheric, and hauntingly real, Search for the Lost plunges readers into a world of survival, obsession, and the darkness that hides beneath human skin. ■ Dive into the first book of the Crocodile Dreaming Series and uncover the mystery that readers can’t stop talking about.
My fiction has been described as "economical and traditional." I try to define my characters through their actions rather than relying on elaborate descriptions or analysis of motivations. I like lots of surprises and feel that the primary role of the writer is to entertain. As a result I tell strong stories that are hopefully well paced and exciting.
I have written professionally for more than two decades. I started my career writing for newspapers, magazines and radio. I have also written dramas for TV and have authored nine books. I studied book publishing at the Banff Centre for the Arts and Stanford University and worked as a Book Publisher for twenty years.
Wow what a story. Took 7 books to write. Great characters and story line. I was almost sad when the story ended. If you want to read a great story these books are for you.
