Nothing like the #waves at #CapeDisappointment #WA after a major storm offshore! — the only disappointing thing about today was missing the nearby spoot but had fun with friends nonetheless!

Historical fiction with a dash of romance, this novel is set in colonial Australia. It's my fifth novel and is available on Amazon. One reviewer said: "I was amused; I cried; I couldn't stop reading."
