The Ottoman Motel
The Ottoman Motel is my first novel. The good folks at Text Publishing gave it a cover and barcode and published it in May 2011.
You can buy it here, if you like.
REVIEWS:
“The ever-welcome promise of a burgeoning talent.” - The Australian

“Vivid descriptions, excellent character development and a knack of getting the reader turning the pages faster, trying to find out what happens next.” – The Sunday Herald Sun

AND, MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE:
“Not another bloody non-book that has more to do with the author than the reader. I bet it’s full of sodding quotation marks. I’ve got a pile of them by my bed that I couldn’t read past the first five pages. Bring back the days when you had to convince a publisher that you could actually write before you were published.” – jeklynhyde, The Guardian Online
