about me

********************************
An Aussie writer of multiple genres and non-fiction, I live in Queensland.

I have now managed to get two books, both complete, to the ED. Both of them have been submitted to publishers, far and wide so as soon as I get that 6 figure contract I'll let you know. .

Strange Bodies, my futuristic murder mystery, is complete. I'm leaving it here while it goes out into the wild blue yonder. It and Blue Diamonds are on their "second read" by a couple of publishers.

*******************************
I support books I would probably buy. I rarely comment other than to say I like a book so if I back your book it means I like it and have read at least some of it. Most of my crits are done offline.

Generic spam is deleted.

Strange Bodies

Tonia Marlowe

Tortured, murdered … the bodies of the Richardsons hang from a tree deep in the forests of the Blue Mountains.


Unaware of the couple's fate, Verity Burne researches their puzzling background for an exposé TV show, becoming increasingly frustrated.

With local police stymied, former Scotland Yard Commander, Nicholas Adams and his team, are called in. Recruited from London after losing his family in the Food Riots of 2064, Adams finds Australia scientifically advanced, though the price paid is monitoring by the central computer BigSys and the pervasive eyes of cameras that cover so much of the country. Petty crime may be obsolete but people will always find ways to commit murder.

But it will take more deaths before the links between eight murders are recognised, links that lead to the discovery of past injustices and a thirst for bloody vengeance. And Nick will need Verity's expertise to help unravel the twisted mind of a clever killer.

This is Australia of 2067, an oasis in a world which has barely survived climate change, terrorism and food wars. Our future? Perhaps.

Note: This is a murder mystery and is complete, but not all of it is uploaded.

Almost, almost there. Can't wait to see what your "fingers" decide to write for the final chapter, but whatever it is it will be as perfect as the rest of the book. xx view book
