The Wanda Beach Killer

The brutal rape and murder of two fifteen-year-old friends in the Wanda Beach sand dunes in 1965 is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most famous cold cases. For many years now, there have been three prime suspects in the murders of Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt. These are:

Alan Raymond Bassett – convicted in 1966 for the murder of Carolyn Orphin

Derek Ernest Percy – one of Australia’s most notorious child killers and

Christopher Bernard Wilder – aka America’s ‘Beauty Queen Killer’

The Wanda Beach Killer meticulously presents and examines the evidence against each of these suspects, leaving little, if any, doubt as to the murderer’s identity.

The Evil that Came to Denham

Denham has been known to house some notable residents such as the late Cilla Black, Sir John Mills, Paul Daniels, Shane Richie and a fair few more to mention. However, the tiny village sadly has more of a tale to tell than that of housing celebrities, and it is a tale told and known by many people far and wide.

The Evil that Came to Denham is based on the true and gruesome tale of the Denham Massacre which took place in 1870 in Denham Village. The story is told from the point of view of the author's own father which adds credibility and believability to an incredible narrative. The macabre subject matter is sensitively treated and the tale is retold with empathy and feeling for the characters involved.

With suspense, intrigue and mystery, in addition to real life matters of family and work, The Evil that Came to Denham really does have something for everyone.
