After a lifetime making films, I have a new life writing books. No one is more surprised than I. Author of Belinda Lawrence mystery series, CAPABLE OF MURDER,
THE EMBROIDERED CORPSE,
BLOODY HAM,
A CANTERBURY CRIME.
Published by BeWrite Books.
I'm proud to have a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Film Editors Guild and an Australian Film Institute award for Best Editing for
the childrens film, Frog Dreaming, along with many nominations. Proud also of my first feature film, which I produced and directed, A City's Child, which won an AFI award for actress Monica Maughan and was invited to screen at the London Film Festival as well as Edinburgh, Montreal, Chicago and Adelaide, where it
won the Gold Southern Cross Advertiser Award for Best Australian
Film, all in the days when most of you were a mixture of multiplying cells, when the world hadn't heard of Australian films (apart from the dear departed, Chips Rafferty) and therefore was a neater and cleaner place. I am also a member of the Australian Society of Authors.
