Rippling Red: A Dusty Kent Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545068045)

BRIGID GEORGE is the pseudonym of JB Rowley - author of Whisper My Secret, Mother of Ten (both Amazon #1 Best Sellers) and the children's series Trapped in Gondwana. Why Brigid George? Brigid because that was what JB's father called her. George because that was his first name. JB Rowley grew up in a small Australian town called Orbost in the state of Victoria. She spent her childhood chasing snakes and lizards down hollow logs, playing Hansel and Gretel in the bush with her brothers, climbing trees, searching the local rubbish tip for books to read and generally behaving like a feral child. To avoid her boisterous brothers she often escaped into the hayshed with a book. Hours and hours of reading from an early age trained her for life as a writer. In primary school her teachers called her 'the one with the Enid Blyton touch'. Her love of reading murder mysteries as an adult has now evolved into a love of writing them. As a teenager JB had short stories published in one of Australia's national magazines, New Idea. Since then she has won several awards for her stories which have also been published in anthologies.
