A fun kids ghost adventure, based on the Cape Otway
Lighthouse station
'Captain Angus, the Lighthouse
Ghost' is about two children holidaying at the Cape Otway
Lighthouse Station, Victoria Australia - they meet the ghost of an
old Scottish Sea Captain, and that's when the fun begins.
This
audio book CD set is an intriguing mystery is set in Wendy's home
town of Sunbury, Victoria, Australia, amongst the surrounding vineyards
of the Sunbury Wine region featuring Detective Inspector Andy McNab.
(co-authored with Di Dalziel) under the penname Dalziel Laing.
It's an exciting murder mystery/thriller, set in Melbourne,
Australia. Two parallel tales, one spanning 100 years, the other one
week, finally merge as Detective Inspector Georgina Borg desperately
tries to catch a serial killer.
Tragically,
my co-writer for this book, Di Dalziel did not see its publication.
She died suddenly at her property, whilst walking around the paddocks
on a beautiful autumn day.
One of
her favourite pastimes was to visit me each Friday. We would spend
the afternoon watching and analysing videos, whilst eating a pull-apart
loaf amply topped with different dips! This was a tradition started
in University days, when we analysed films in Film studies for professional
writing.
The last
series we watched was Di's declared favourite show, as it was romantic,
funny, and included time travel. The plot of the English television
series, starring Nicholas Lyndhurst, like this book, Mirror, Mirror
…contained parallel tales that merge at the end of the plot. The
title of this show is apt for her epitaph, both as a dear and loyal
friend and co-author: Goodnight Sweetheart.
Featuring the irrepressible Inspector Jane Doe. The book was part
of Wendy's Master's degree project. This the second of the Inspector Jane Doe series. Another
paranormal mystery with chopped up bodies found at a winery & the
local tip in Sunbury, Wendy's home town!
The next of this exciting Inspector Jane Doe series is now on
the 'writing board!' Check out the cover, done by Wendy below! (click

Inspector Jane Doe is thrust into one of the most puzzling cases
of her career. Oliver confides to Jane, information about a small
girl who is a new patient. The girl has ghostly dreams of violence
and murder. Is this girl's life at threat? Or is there an undiscovered
murder of the donor of her new heart? Jane finds the "Haunted Heart"
giving her horrifying clues!
