My debut slice of published fiction, Blood Memory, should become available this month. When a feature writer is sent to the outback to write a colour piece on some of the myths and legends of an Indigenous community, he is confronted by far more than he ever expected. Instead of a pleasant walk in the mountains, he is asked to help search for a boy locals fear was taken by a crocodile. The ancient horror he discovers is one that harks back to the days when volcanoes still shaped the land.
