Influences
My earliest influence in mystery writing was Agatha Christie, so I feel comfortable staying within the boundaries of that genre. Other writers are E.F.Benson for his sly humour, Evelyn Waugh for his biting satire, Barbara Pym for her observation of character and her gentle wit.
Upcoming Works
The fifth in my Belinda Lawrence mystery series, A WICKED DESIGN in which Belinda, who up until now has been based in England, return to her native Australia, only to find more mysteries to solve.
