All his working life, Kurt lived in a world of secrets. Those secrets killed his best friend, Nick.

One secret, though, will tear his world apart – the one he’s keeping from himself.

December, 1988: For Kurt Nash, CIA operative, a trip to Pemberton in Australia’s south-west to scatter Nick’s ashes should have been routine, except for the guilt plaguing him, and the trauma of the events that nearly killed him as well.

When he encounters Lucy, Nick’s fiancée, returned to celebrate Christmas with her brother, Don, Kurt realises the time has come to tell Nick’s story. But Kurt will discover that opening up can be like lighting a fire in a forest. After all, when a forest fire burns, it is hard to predict what will catch and which direction it will turn.

But as Kurt begins to find himself hidden under all the layers of secrets, will his growing friendship with Don and Lucy be enough to enable him to deal with those secrets? Will he be strong enough to come to terms with what he has been hiding from himself?

About the Author

I come from a family of storytellers. The problem for me is that where they tend to be very vocal in their storytelling, when I try it, it all comes out wrong. I keep missing things out, going back to try to put things in, and by the time I get to the punchline, people have either fallen asleep or have moved on to another conversation.

However, as a writer, I can modify that story until it's perfect - okay, you can stop laughing now - or at least until it expresses what I want it to say in the way I want it portrayed. And then I can release that story into the world for people to download, subscribe to, or buy.

I'm an Australian from Brisbane who has lived in various parts of the world, and tried to learn from the stories of the people I've encountered along the way, as well as my own. I am married to a wonderful man who does not always understand me and sometimes he understands me all too well - that goes both ways - but he still loves and accepts me. He too is a storyteller, and we hope to be able to write a series together one day soon.
