She woke with a killer headache, instinctively feeling between her legs, and found she had to shift quite a bit of fabric out of the way before reaching her destination.
Daisy Penfolde opened her eyes and stared at the stars, then breathed in air which had no odour, no particular temperature… which she realised had been [...]

She woke with a killer headache — then began to sob uncontrollably. The loss… it shook her to the core of her being.
The background noise, windscreen wipers across wet glass, the swoosh of tyres through puddles and the sound of rain hammering down on the metalwork of the car, they all meant nothing, didn’t even [...]

After many weeks of becoming more and more irritated with myself for no apparent reason, I worked-out what the real issue was: my whole purpose in working for myself is not to make money. Not that I object when it’s thrust my way.
The purpose is to give me free time to write.
And thus I have [...]

Daisy and Donnie and their adventures began in a Camberwell cafe called Provisions, back in 2004. The idea came about as content for a street magazine I’d conceived on the flight back to OZ from the UK earlier that year.
The idea was simple: create a series of stories, with a friend called Monika, which could [...]

Finally, the first book of Daisy and Donnie’s adventures is up and running.
