I’m delighted that a (very) short story I wrote some years ago for the Woman’s Day magazine is now available as an ebook. <\/p>\n

An author almost always knows more about characters than what goes it into a finished book, especially with secondary characters. This short story allowed me to introduce readers to two characters from Dungirri’s past mentioned only briefly in As Darkness Falls<\/em>. The story stands alone – you don’t need to have read As Darkness Falls<\/em>, but if you have, you may remember a few sentences here and there about Bella’s father, Patrick O’Connell. I loved writing Dear Ruth<\/em> and having the chance to give you a glimpse of Patrick and Ruth’s love story.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"
\nDear Ruth<\/em> is already available for free on amazon.com<\/a> and Google Play<\/a> and I expect it will be available at other online sellers shortly. It also contains preview chapters of each of my books.<\/p>\n

So, pour yourself a cup of tea, and imagine it’s billy tea, brewed on a campfire by a river in the Australian outback… I hope you enjoy Dear Ruth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
