    What a privilege to be invited to speak at a luncheon in Sydney to raise funds for the Angel Network. The Angel Network is committed to helping alleviate poverty and social injustice in South Africa, and raises funds for soup kitchens, creches and more. I was deeply moved by the warmth and goodwill in the room, and the incredible work this organisation does.

    THE DOCTOR’S WIFE has been on the move! What a fun-filled few months I’ve had in New Zealand and abroad, sharing my latest novel with audiences . . . Auckland Writers Festival, Whanganui Writers Festival, BAD Crime Writers Festival Sydney, and more.

    I have so enjoyed the opportunity to meet readers and fellow writers. But now it’s back to my desk to complete my fifth novel.
