Irene is a retired historian living in Perth, Western Australia. She grew up and went to school in New South Wales, by the mighty Murray. Several generations of her father's family were involved with paddle steamers on the river, so this is the setting she chose for her first cozy mystery series.
Irene is a readaholic, tennis fan, croquet player (old age and treachery beats youth and enthusiasm every time), and has a reasonably green thumb, which means not too much dies in her garden, unlike in her cozy mysteries. T

Irene can be contacted through her Facebook author page. She is also on B ...more

Christmas fast approaching

Hi
Christmas is fast approaching and here in Perth, today, the temperature is hot and sunny at 34C (93F for you northerners).

Wish us luck that we remain so.
