Longlist ABIAs General Fiction

Trust longlisted for ABIAs

  • by

I’m absolutely thrilled to have Trust longlisted in the General Fiction category for the Australian Book Industry Awards. It’s quite the honour, particularly considering the quality of the other books in contention, and the quality of many books that could so easily have been included.

Cover revealed for Trust

  • by

Allen & Unwin have finalised the cover for Trust, my new crime thriller featuring Martin Scarsden and Mandalay Blonde. It’s another beauty from designer Luke Causby, who also created the covers for all the Australian editions of Scrublands and Silver. Trust will be published on October 13th in Australia and New Zealand. I’m hoping to get out and about a bit to publicise it, but guess the pandemic is going… Read More »Cover revealed for Trust
