Profile Information
- Hometown:
- Pyrenees Ranges, Victoria, Australia
- About Me:
- A reader. A constant reader. Less than 200 books in Mt TBR will cause me to break out in an uncontrollable panic sweat. Failure to stand in the middle of a well-stocked book store once a fortnight causes further panic attacks. The arrival of a Postpak full of review books causes uncontrollable shivers of joy. Basically I'm a simple creature - feed me books, ignore the dust and crud in the house and tell me about your favourite author.
- I Am A:

- Books And Authors I Like:
- Crime fiction in all its guises! I love Reginald Hill's books, I'm a huge fan of Scandinavian crime writers - Mankell, Wahloo and Sjowall, Nesbo, Fossum, Alvtegen, Larsson and their ilk. Indridason from Iceland is another favourite as well. Louise Welsh, Caro Ramsay, Denise Mina, Christopher Brookmyre and many Scottish authors as well.
In terms of local writers Adrian Hyland, Peter Temple, Shane Maloney, Malla Nunn, Lindy Cameron, Caroline Shaw, David Owen, Geoff McGeachin, Paul Thomas, Leigh Redhead, Katherine Howell, JR Carroll, Paul Cleave, Claire McNab and......

Our Clancy (the big one) and Jedda (the puppy) Australian Terriers looking angelic - it only happens when they are asleep!

I am relieved that someone else appreciates Bill James, I have walked around the 2nd Hand bookstores of Melbourne and been told that he doesn't exist!

I had a fabulous night with Sisters Inc! Very nervous but they were all so lovely and Lindy kept the room buzzing so I had a ball.
