about me

Hi

I've had 2 short stories published by Australian women's magazines
2 short pieces published by City Weekly (had a name change to 9 to 5). This weekly has folded due to the financial climate.
1 computer book written specifically for the employees of a large Sydney based company
I write a monthly newsletter emailed to our pharmacy club members.
I was accepted by an American agent in late 2005 but she closed her agency due to ill health before she was able to place my story.
I have completed 3 novel length mystery/thriller stories which are unpublished.
Another 2 novel length stories are on half. One is a chick lit and the other a mystery. I am working on a fantasy at the moment. I thought mystery was my thing but I'm enjoying writing fantasy. I'm up to page 280 of my fantasy story and loving it.
I live in Sydney Australia. No pets and no children at home but plenty of distractions which I constantly try to avoid.
I can't imagine not writing as I think about it all the time.
My wish is to keep writing until my last breath.
You can reach me at olga33999@yahoo.com.au or find me at facebook:

I have a mystery & thriller writers group on my facebook page. Join me there.
No need to ask about swaping reads. If you comment on my story I will certainly do the same for you.
