Currently (June 2001) working one day a week at Fremantle Hospital, which is surprisingly good. I am also writing my trilogy when obligations permit and that's not very often. I get distracted. But that's OK because whatever I do I'm writing in my head so one day I will get it all down, out.

Perth Woman Spring 2001 edition. Travel article on the Abrolhos Islands

Content Director Jan 2000 – Feb 2001 WiredCity a dot.com, ISP IDC. With another journalist, David Cohen, I published an online newspaper/magazine WAah! The premise was that WA is a lazy monopoly state in only having the one daily newspaper. Writing, editing and publishing for the Internet during the year was a marvelous experience in fairly uncharted waters. WiredCity have recently gone high-end servicing and the content has been stopped as a result.
