This is dreadful! I haven't updated since "Gentlemen Formerly Dressed" was released! I'm afraid this site is one of the first balls to be dropped in the juggling act of my life! It has been a rather full few months... with Christmas, launches, author talks, the Batlow Show (not to be missed) and, of course, the writing of a new book. I submitted the "A Murder Unmentioned" - the sixth Rowland Sinclair novel yesterday. Today I had a haircut, got my flu shot, filled prescriptions and picked up a few more balls that have been dropped over the last few months. I've started playing with other novels (not Rowland Sinclairs) and am preparing a workshop for the Sydney Writers Festival next month.

A box of B-format of Paving the New Road arrived on my doorstep... as with all my b-formats the cover was based on an original drawing which now hands in my study.

Scrambled to get a hydrangea and a painting ready for the Batlow Show... the Hydrangea won best bloom!
This is a somewhat scrappy account of what I've been up to for since Novemember. The next months promise to be even more hectic....and I promise to try and keep all my balls, including this one, in the air.... or at stop to pick them up more regularly!
