NOVEL-IN-PROGRESS
The Frost Children is a speculative literary mystery. Shortlisted for the 2016 Richell Prize for an Emerging Writer (as Gardens of Stone).
A brilliant yet distant scientist flees with his children into the wilderness to conceal a confronting truth,
but when his children learn they can’t go home they’re driven to discover why.
Researching the NOVEL
The Gardens of Stone is a national park on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri nation, 125km northwest of Sydney, and a stone’s throw from my hometown, Bathurst NSW.
