Mparntwe Update

My second novel, a beautiful story of friendship and drama, is so low on stock that I’ve had to organise a reprint with the help of Luke, at WorkingType, and Phil, at Tenderprint.

The new edition should arrive in the next couple of weeks.

Clunes Booktown Update

Oh My! The two days at Clunes were a wonderful surprise, with great interest, particularly in the Widderkin novels, and sales results way above my expectations.

This year I had graphics, created by my talented grand-niece, Leah, to help with presentation and I’m convinced they were a big part of the great response.

WorkingType Studio

I’d like to give a big shout out for Luke at

Luke has helped me publish four novels so far and every time I have loved his designs and layout.

Everything is done in a professional and friendly manner.

Cover design, typesetting, setting the files ready for IngramSpark, Amazon or any of the smaller printing houses used by Indie authors.

If you need advice or a question answered, his years of experience and expertise are all at your service.

Check the treasure trove of Author Resources available on the website.

Any author, budding or seasoned would benefit from working with Luke.

Clunes Booktown 2026

This is my big event for the year and this coming weekend will be the public launch of Widderkin Valley Of The Eagles. People come from everywhere to the little town of Clunes and books are the focus of the whole event. I’m anticipating a very interesting time.

Attunga Reprint.

Quite a milestone!

Yes, I was down to my last dozen copies of Attunga and needed a second print run.

My wonderful printing company -Tenderprint – with their usual friendly and professional approach, made it happen in only a week. They then went way beyond any reasonable expectation with a personal delivery to my front doorstep.

Wow! That’s impressive service indeed.

A new venture.

A small print-run of Widderkin in hardcover format has arrived.

A limited number of copies of this special edition are available, either through this site, or through the Croydon franchise of Collins Booksellers in Melbourne, Australia, who have given positive support to Diaspora Press publishings.

Widderkin News.

As well as Amazon, Widderkin is now available through IngramSpark in paperback and Ebook versions.

It’s my understanding that this means that from practically anywhere in the world you can ask your local bookshop to order a copy for you.
