Sneak preview...
Shush.... don't tell anyone, but here's a bit about my sixth book, IVORY which will be released in Australia on August 1, and South Africa in September (I think).
All you literary agents and publishing houses elsewhere around the world hoping to cash in on the current wave of publicity abut modern day piracy off the coast of Africa, pay attention:
IVORY
Alex Tremain is a pirate in trouble.
The two women in his life – his financial adviser and his mechanic – have left him. He’s facing a mounting tide of debts and his crew of modern-day buccaneers is getting restless. What Alex really wants is to re-open his parents’ five-star hotel on the Island of Dreams, off the coast of Mozambique.
But a chance raid on a ship sets the Chinese triads after him and, to add to his woes, corporate lawyer Jane Humphries lands, literally, in his lap. Another woman is the last thing Captain Tremain needs right now – especially one whose lover is a ruthless shipping magnate.
Before he knows it, Alex is embroiled in two separate and equally risky pursuits – one takes him to South Africa’s Kruger National Park and will pay enough for him to re-open his hotel, and the other involves the love of a lifetime. Can Alex pull off this one last heist and walk away with both prizes?

It looks good and I'm looking forward to reading it in August.
We really have something to look forward to.
Roll on September.
Poor Les, we will be waxing lyrical while you have to wait another month - maybe one of us Aussies can send you a pirate copy!
Out of pure curiosity and nothing more - would any of you WA followers be from Scarborough, I dare to ask?
Lookimg forward to the final print copy.

(The word verification letters for this post were SQUED. Of course, everyone knows that's the sound heard when one steps on a squid.)
Oh, just in case anyone's interested, yes those are my hands holding a male lion's paw!!! And yes he was alive - albeit drugged!!! :)
Trin I live in the suburb next to Scarborough, I once had to transport our fearless author friend from our house to Swanbourne at 0730 hrs when he been up all night telling tall stories - he is such a story teller
Dok
ha ha
Ali : I just read Tracey's description - very funny...
Dozy - that's much better.. Tis - you must be doing something wrong with your prodile cos we cant see your picture??
Obviously a tyro at the science of written sound effects. :>)
As for the "Metamorphosis" piece, thank you. It comes from a friend. At the time, she was going through some emotional storms which she couldn't explain, until she realised that her own daughter had just reached the same age as she had been when it occured.
I will grant that it is a very cute, cuddly looking ball of fluff, but it looks like a picture a little girl would have on her profile…….
Not what we would expect from a MAN who wants to spank girls from Underbelly at all (you wish).
Then again, it probably ties in with someone who is desperate to win a chook raffle at the local pub ?
MSP - not to be confused with MS (from salmagundi’s site).
Crookedpaw, I can't believe you counted how many e's in Squeeeeeeeeeeeed. And you are right, it is the ground heel effect
If you're a sheila, you're probably excited about the spanking so I'll send the spanking team around to see you and I'll even through in my 'dog walloping stick' as an extra treat. You'll just love it . Pure ecstasy..promise. he he..
Note new pic of my big tuff lion boy Claude. Now that's a pussy cat hey!
Now ..back to "Ivory' have I mentioned what a treat you are all in for?
The heroine 'Jane Humphries' what a girl!
have lodged adoption papers for her.

Mr Wuss <^..^>
Anonymous, please keep it nice. No more criticising of people's profiles and no fighting on the blog... any of you.
Let's all be nice.
Welcome, lawyer mom, you should see what my lawyer gets up to with the pirate!
can't wait
Can't wait
Can't wait
Can't wait
So far I would have to say Far Horizon and Silent Predator are my favourites.
I look forward to your 6th book being released in August!
