It’s a place where they say there are more cattle and crocodiles than people, filled with over two-thirds of Australia’s tropical bird life.
A place where the air is so fresh and free from any man-made toxins, your sinuses believe they’re in heaven.
And it’s only a sea-eagle’s glide away from the iconic Kakadu National Park.
This is the Top End of the Northern Territory (NT) with its heat, humidity, flies, and lots of red-ochre dust, but…
In the Dry season you could drive across a cracked savannah so desolate you’d wonder if you’d landed on Mars. You can stare into a cloudless sky, so infinite and flawlessly blue, making you realise how small you are in the universe.
Then the rains come.
Bringing with it some spectacular electrical storms, attracting storm chasers from across the globe. It’s a time when walls of warm rain can dump a southern city’s monthly spring average in just a few hours.
And that same desolate spot we drove over earlier, we can skim across in an airboat! What once appeared to be dead, now shines like an inland sea, filled with long neck turtles, wallowing water buffalo, and the mighty fighting barramundi. There are crocodiles, file snakes, and wild boar to avoid among the flowering lotus of the flourishing billabongs, where the birdlife is a delight for the eyes.
This is where The ELSIE CREEK series calls home and it all starts with The ART of DUST.
Happy release day…
Some summer loves you can never forget, found in a place where summer never ends…Where you’ll discover the essence of the rugged and romantic outback of Australia’s Northern Territory, in this small-town series of Elsie Creek. It’s a place filled with more cattle and crocodiles than people—who still manage to find love…
Are you ready to Escape to a HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
After seven-years, creative Mumpreneur, Kathryn (Kat) Jones, returns to the outback town of Elsie Creek at the request of her dying uncle. Kat can’t fix the man but she can care for his wife, fix his home, and fix his beloved vehicle to get him there.
Workaholic, Kyle Smythe, owns the only mechanical workshop in town, and he’s about to propose to another woman when his ex-muse rolls into his yard seeking help to restore her uncle’s ute.
For Kat, Kyle was her best friend, her creative collaborator, and first and only love. But his rejection tore her heart apart.
Kyle’s scars still sting over Kat’s desertion—especially when he’d needed her the most.
Yet these long-lost summer soulmates are compelled to team-up to make a man they both care for happy in his final days.
Can they work together without re-igniting that spark shared those many summers ago? Or will it remind them of their promises of forever that ended in never…
Are you a fan of small-town Australian rural romance stories?
Then you’ll adore this unique outback spin, set in a place where cattle and crocodiles outnumber the people and where the summer never ends… Welcome to Elsie Creek.

I don’t read romances, but let me tell you this, you painted such an amazing scene. I could picture the entire environment. Sounds like a good story. Great writing. Wish you the best of luck.

From the man who writes amazing romantic poetry, I’m surprised you don’t write/read the genre. Thank you so much for your kind words of support.
