I currently have one Novel just released "Game On" One with my Editor the incredibly talented Samantha Elley "My Grandmother's Diaries" and two underway 3rd Drafts. "Waiting in The Wings" The life story of a musician who lives in two separate realities, and "Somewhere In Between" The story of a 17-year-old girl, who goes missing for one year while walking between two telegraph poles of a suburban Sydney Street. Then reappears with no memory of where she has been or what has happened to her. Below is a brief extract from "Waiting in the Wings" "Happy Reading" JRF
"Waiting in the Wings"
We recorded all four compositions. Then in one of the most beautiful moments of my life. All four of the Cadigan children, gathered together, spontaneously composing a song so beautiful, that it had me in tears as I sat alone in the main room of the studio transcribing it. I remained in a trance while the others watched on in amazement from the control room, too scared to make a noise, for fear, that it might interrupt my train of thought breaking the spell. The adult Cadigan's stood in a circle, just as they did in childhood. Mary and Charlie holding Guitars, Jocelyn keeping a steady beat on a tambourine, while Sally seated at a piano, sang from the depths of her soul. The others joining her, in perfect harmony. The song “Memories of Yesterday”. Recorded in one take, would sell millions of copies topping charts around the world.
The early years and the drought they had brought with them were both, coming to an end.
By looking into the past, we had found a way into the future.
What do you think happens next?
Now here is the opening paragraph of "Somewhere In Between"

Chapter 1
Annie (The Victim) 1
The fan droned. Zen like spinning directly above the couch where Annie was laying. Thud, thud, thud, thud. The afternoon dragged slowly by. The thick air, wet, sticky, was only moved with great reluctance, around the already stifling room. The window shutters were closed in a further effort to keep the heat out. With the lights switched off, they sat in semi darkness. There was air conditioning in some of the other rooms, but here in the study all they had was the fan.
What do you think comes next?
