Hi

I'm a full time writer, I run Driftwood Manuscripts and live in Adelaide with my partner Stuart and my cockatiel, Jones. I love finding spots for my books to be found and I am hoping to continue to clean out my bookshelf and send out books to be found. it is fun, like being ain a secret club, and instead of hiding messages to my secret club members, I'm hiding books for strangers. I hope at least one of my books will be found and registered. I'm so glad I foudn this site, it's just what I need at the moment and forces me to get out and about while I finish writing the book (THE LADY SPLASH) that is now overdue...

Thank you for reading and releasing some of my books before I was a member. it was thrillign to see them and to read the reviews, good and bad. I really love the whole concept of this site and congratulate everyone associated with it for their great attitude to reading, their generosity and sense of fun.
