Finding Felicity is the story of a woman and her step-daughter and tells how love within their family triumphs over serious relationship problems. There are psychological insights into grief and dysfunctional marriage, development of the characters as they deal with these situations and a suspenseful escape from Bangkok to Sydney. The setting is these two cities in 2006. Chapter One begins in Sydney with Lydia waking to face the funeral of her much-loved husband, Richard. She is supported there by her step-children, Richard's son J.C. and daughter Margaret. At the wake, the question arises: why is Felicity (Fliss), the youngest step-child, not there? Lydia has a hunch that something is wrong in Felicity's life. When she visits the memorial garden where Richard's ashes are scattered, she feels his presence and talks to him, as she does throughout the book. She vows to Richard to visit Bangkok and look into Felicity's life there. On the flight to Thailand, Lydia reviews the experiences and characters of her three step-children.
Choices: what is the price of love; what is the worth of independence? How does a young woman fulfil her destiny as a woman and an artist? How does a young man overcome traumatic childhood experiences to thrive as an adult, to become self-confident, independent and successful? These are the questions Irina and David face, independently and together, as we follow their journey from a too-hasty marriage to the story's ultimate conclusion. The setting, in the early 1960s, and location - much of the action takes place in far north Queensland - lend their own vibrant character to the drama.
Day of the Diamond Earrings is a contemporary novel set in Sydney, Australia, aimed at women readers in the 40 plus age group. The lead characters are a mother and daughter and the story, which is positive in its approach, deals with attitudes toward homosexuality, schoolyard bullying, what is worthwhile in a relationship and finally whether or not to take revenge for a past wrong. The conclusions may surprise many.
