Heather Butler has enjoyed writing pieces of poetry, some of which she has won awards for including a Henry Lawson award in 2015. She has penned several short stories covering a range of topics, although these have never been formally published. Heather also assisted in the publication of a cookery book by a First Aid team encouraging CPR. Heather is also quite artistic and has delved into painting, drawing, china painting and she been known to make teddy bears and other critters in the past. She so enjoys drawing, some of her sketches are on these pages.Heather ran a local school canteen for many years while her children were at the school and enjoyed penning little snippets to one of the teachers there who also enjoyed writing poetry. Not only did Heather enjoy this repertoire with poetry, but she also became intrigued with mystery solving, mysteries being something she has always enjoyed reading about or trying to solve; one of her greatest joys was to solve the mystery before the end of the book she was reading, so after a while Heather came up with this plot which had begun to develop into a book.After several years she gathered the courage to have the book published. It has been a real experience to get this book to the publishing stage and we hope you all enjoy the book as we do.
