Signposts To The Past – Albert St to Anthony Crescent

My late mother’s historical book, Signposts To The Past – Stories of Places and Streets of Bouddi Peninsula is close to completion. My daughter Kalena, and I have been working like rats in a tip with Mum’s final project. So many details in creating this complex book to get exactly right! From copyright to indexing to taking and dating photos.

Our launch will be at Wagstaffe later in the year.

To show you the design style, here is the start of Chapter 3, Albert Street to Anthony Crescent.

A day forever permeated by the smell of peppermint and wet eucalyptus. A day I wish never happened.

Deleting Vincent – A Female Killer’s Confessions (Post 1)

Have you ever thought that someone’s death was the result of murder and not suicide as stated by police? How many murderers are out there that get away with by staging suicide? There are occasional cases where the truth is revealed, with a murderer caught. How often are the clues missed?

While working as a researcher into suicide deaths, I came to suspect there are more misidentified cases than people are led to believe. I wrote this fictional story to draw attention to this taboo topic of suicides and homicides.

Ashli lost her best friend Debbie, to a man who she always believed staged her death. Debbie feared Vincent. She wasn’t wanting to harm herself. A chance situation where Debbie saw the dismissive actions of police when a woman apparently overdosed, began the unravelling of Ashli’s mind. The consequences were horrific with Ashli confessing in devastating detail what it took to finally delete Vincent.

HOW DO PEOPLE FEEL DEEP WITHIN THEIR CORE when they take absolute control of another person’s life? Today is the day. I have prepared and I will be exhilarated. They were my thoughts on that otherwise typical, spring day in 2007. A day forever permeated by the smell of peppermint and wet eucalyptus. A day I wish never happened.
