My love of crime stories comes from the tales my father told me growing up in Sydney. My father was a policeman for 37 years, ten of them as a police photographer for the Scientific Investigation Bureau of the NSW Police Force.I have spent many years cross-checking his information with official records and his former colleagues to bring these stories to life. They tell about a by-gone era, before DNA and computers, where old-fashioned legwork solved crimes. Many of the villains and heroes are long gone, however I hope my stories brings back their memories.Ironically, I too, found myself in a visual career in hospitals, where I occasionally assisted in the identification of victims of crime through video-superimposition.I am honoured to receive the Highly Commended award in the New England Thunderbolt Prize for Non- Fiction Crime , after winning the same category last year. These two stories, as well as many others, appear in my novel My Father's Crimes.view less
