You may have noticed – my website and blog look different now.
I’ve been working on this for a while.
I am currently writing books set in the Australian outback – so I wanted the site to reflect that. The background image you see is a photo of red soil taken on the edge of the desert.
I thought that would work well with the cover of Flight to Coorah Creek – with it’s outback images, and the other Coorah Creek novels which will follow.
Of course, as I designed it, I didn’t realise that the first book cover to go up would be Bring Me Sunshine – set on board a cruise ship bound for the frozen wastes of Antarctica.
I still think it works well.
Webmaster John spent a lot of time getting everything just right – and I think the result is gorgeous. I love it.
Please go take a look around. There are still lots of free reads and other interesting stuff. I’ll be posting (well – webmaster John will be posting ) some book bonus pages soon, with the story behind how I came to write Bring Me Sunshine.
Much as I love this new look – I have one small confession to make. I always loved the birds at the bottom of the page on the old site.
So – here they are one last time.

Very nice site, Janet. Very Australian coloured. Good luck with your new book and the hand-holding penguins. Sweet. Cheers from WA.
Thanks Janet – I rather like the desert/outback colours too. And I’m sure the penguins don’t mind. Janet x
I love this new updated site. I liked the old one as well but this background is so much more vibrant.
Hi Chanpreet. I liked the old site too, but I think the colours here are stronger and more attuned to the far west of Queensland – where the Coorah Creek novels are set. This photo of the cracked soil reminds me so much of where I grew up… the soil was a darker colour, but in the dry season (which was most of the time) it looked a lot like this. J.
