Updates every quarter from January 2021: Big Books Series - a number of novels waiting to be fully expressed, one-novel at a time.

The first, underway at a trickle, began with a working title ‘Nasturtiums in the Wheatfield’.  It has moved on to ‘Reclamation’ but whatever its title in the end, gestation has been interrupted and long.  It is well-formed enough to reveal it is an Australian rural saga sprinkled with some big city influence.  It spans 4 generations, 4 families, 1 funeral, rural and urban properties and mindsets, white-collar crime, coincidences, and serendipitous discoveries.  

I find inspiration and motivation to stay the course for the ‘big books’ goals from the reflections of many great authors, including Baroness Karen Blixen, Danish Author 1886-1962

When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time - every day a little – suddenly the work will finish itself.  

The little at a time, every day, doesn’t always play out, but the determination persists.
