Hello friends, it has been a while!

Let me catch you up on what I have been doing and what is planned for the remainder of 2025.

Late in 2024, I co authored another book with Roy Maloy and another author called Ash Tonkin. This book is called Black Widow – Women Who Kill (and is available to purchase!)

The Black Widow theme was also what Roy, and I took to the Adelaide Fringe Festival in February/March with our Criminal Outsider shows. This year we performed something like 23 shows to over 500 people! I was away from home for about 5 weeks and was very glad to find my bed again!

I managed to get out a podcast on Elizabeth Woolcock the only woman executed in South Australia.

Roy and I have also completed a couple of street tours on the Crutchie Push and the Fitzroy Vendetta.

But for now, Criminal Outsider will have a break to allow Roy to regain his health after he had a heart attack while we were in Adelaide! And I am supposed to be the disabled one! lol He is okay for now but needs to slow down for a little while.

However, I don’t think I have stopped since I got home again!

I have been doing lots of tours at the Geelong Gaol for a variety of groups along with my regular Locked up with History tours and Escape tours.

I have been concentrating on uploading more regularly to my social media platforms and am hoping to start a monthly chat on YouTube on a variety of historical murders and of course the Geelong Gaol. Is this something you would like to see??

In my spare time (lol) I am currently researching and writing my first solo book on the escapes and executions from Geelong. I currently have 84 stories to write! I am hoping to have it out by Christmas but will see how we go.

Apart from that I have been spending a bit of time with my beautiful first granddaughter who is the apple of my eye. I am loving supporting my son and daughter in law and watching our little one grow!

So that’s where I have been! I hope to see you all soon with another podcast or come find me on social media
