Sugar is sweet
There’s nothing like a break from the daily grind to get the creative juices flowing (or dripping at the very least), and a holiday never lets me down. A week in the Whitsundays was going to be my chance to do lots of reading – always useful before the start of a new project. Unfortunately sailing,Continue reading “Sugar is sweet”
A visit to Hazard River
It’s hard not to be inspired by this place – a little corner of bushland between the Noosa River and the North Shore beach. There are no chic shops or must-do restaurants on this side of the river. It’s all about dirt tracks, deserted beaches, boats, bikes and unexpected encounters – kangaroos boxing on theContinue reading “A visit to Hazard River”

Hazard River adventure
The Hazard River series by J.E. Fison (that’s me) is action-packed fun for young readers. Collect all six! Holidays are normally fun – right? But when Jack Wilde, his brother Ben and their friends Lachlan and Mimi visit Hazard River nothing is normal. The gang comes up agaist rogue fishermen, smugglers and dodgy developers asContinue reading “Hazard River adventure”
