An Australian Spy Novel
A Wilderness of Mirrors is now available.... When housekeeper Susan Ainsworth finds Harvey Kashton dead in the gentlemen’s withdrawing room of Bancroft House, she acts swiftly to prevent a scandal.

Exploring Australia’s Literary Spy Genre
In The Conversation, June 2024, David Rymer asked, 'Why have Australia’s espionage authors been renditioned to a literary black site?' I have asked myself the same question as, in vain, I have searched for a contemporary spy novel set in Australia. There are plenty of crime novels, but few, if any, real spy novels. Rymer suggests Australians are coy about admitting we have anything like a spy agency, but I do not think that is the issue.
