With a new organization supported by a long lost inheritance from his European ancestor, Margaret Stanford, Ulmarra begins a movement that will change the face of the Australian landscape and offer an opportunity for change throughout the world. But Jimmy Ulmarra has his own unique personal journey, and his dynamic group is forced to struggle against bitter opposition and their own human weakness.

I was about eight, and as I grew, the only thing that changed was the quality of paper I used on that windowsill.\" Early novels Nonetheless, her first novel wasn't written until she was 31.

Margaret's Secret, followed by Ulmarra, The Message Stick and The Return of the Dreamtime, are the culmination of the Ulmarra Heritage series. Stories for a new campfire She is told she is a natural storyteller and admits she is inextricably drawn to it. \"I feel as though I might once have been found seated in the fire ring of a village sometime history, whispering some mysterious portent as the children's eyes grow wide, or flailing my arms in unison with the crescendo of a great adventure. But now I'm found on line ... seated and ready for the entire global village to hear the tales I have to tell.
