Becoming Something Else: A Collection of Short Stories
This collection of contemporary short stories is concerned with how women are shaped by the events and relationships in their lives, and how those elements serve as catalysts for personal transformation - the process of becoming something else. They address the pressure of gender expectations coming from within and without, and particularly how that plays out in relationships, both familial and romantic, or when experiencing serious hardships such as mental health crises, addiction and domestic violence. They are set in Western Australia during the 2000s and 2010s.Complete

The First Hunter
Amid the vastness of the universe, a human is found-fragile, out of place, and wholly unprepared for the dangers of an unforgiving world. A single act sets events into motion, binding predator and prey in ways neither can fully comprehend. As alliances shift and hidden truths unravel, the line between myth and reality begins to blur. The tale of The First Hunter is whispered-a story within a story, holding answers that could reshape everything. But some legends are not meant to be uncovered, and the greatest mysteries hide in plain sight.
Never Forget
Genre: Empathetic Historical Fiction Theme: World War Two / Family History Audience: Young Adult / Adult What makes this story special? The answer is plain and simple...nothing! It is a story that is not unique to any time or place. It is a story that has plagued history well before these events and a sorry tale that continues to prevail as we live and breathe. It is a historical compilation of the oral and written entwined with the possibility of truth. It is the story of the 'Campbell' family and their lives during World War 2. Historically it focuses on the 2/13 Battalion and 2/1 Pioneers and their journey to Tobruk and the birth of the infamous Rats of Tobruk. On an emotional level it explores how the Campbell family dealt with the loss of three sons in less than three years. It is a common story that encapsulates the history of far too many families and in its rawness it could be your family. Have the stories and characters of the story grown in their own legendary status? Has fact given way to fiction? The answer is plain and simple, "I don't know". Held together with possibilities, as the writer I am often unsure where black and white merge to become grey. 'Campbell'- Scottish in its origin, the family crest bears an image of fierce, snarling bore. However, it is not this image that brings meaning to this story but rather its Latin motto 'Ne Obliviscaris '- Never Forget. This is my 'Never Forget'Complete
