Happy Monday ☠️☠️

And hello Winter, my old foe, at least I can now refer to the remainder of the Gerroa series as my Winter True Crime Series... Cooler month series doesn't have the same ring to it.

The first Afternoon of True Crime with Amanda Howard was fab and as we teased yes we have a few ideas for more fun together.

There has been a slight adjustment to the Winter True Crime Program, unfortunately Mark Dapin who was scheduled July 11th is no longer able to join us on the coast but never fear I have already secured James Phelps for the spot and looking forward to chatting to him about his work and writing.

Thank you Mark, we will brew up something I am sure in the near future.

James was one of the guests at the Sleuthed event last year in Bathurst where he was in conversation with another great ole pal of mine Dan McMath.

All tickets for the updated program are now live, so come join me on the south coast sometime this winter...

An Afternoon with The Serial Killer Whisperer

Our first Afternoon on True Crime in Gerroa kicked off last weekend and what a criminally good way to spend an afternoon.

Amanda Howard, Author & Podcast Host, was my first guest and we chatted about a whole heap. From web sleuths to Ivan Milat to women who murder to top true crime movie recommendations ... and lots more.

Great questions from our guests and a big thank you to everyone who attended!
