When a young girl enters into a relationship with an Australian Aboriginal, not only do connections open with new levels of knowledge and sensations but an intricate design with very distant roots is revealed. Between affirmations of identity and the discovery of great passions, this novel catapults us into a space time journey, that travels across England and Australia and through centuries, in perennial search for freedom and self-determination. What is the certainty of a daily routine made of comforts, habits and hypocrisies, compared to the vast Ocean of life? You could say Deborah Weetman was born a story writer. At the age of 7, she was allowed to sit outside class and write stories where her young imagination took her on many an adventure. At the age of 8, she was taken on a true-life adventure to live in Kenya, East Africa where her world became filled with colour and joy. As a teen, she was sent to boarding school, formerly attended by the Bronte sisters, in the unforgiving English moors of Cumbria. These landscapes, from the wild African plains to the wilderness of the Cumbrian moors, and the vastly different cultures inspired a lifelong passion for discovery and writing. She moved to Western Australia when she was sixteen, with her family, and has travelled extensively since then. In 2006, she became editor and publisher of Forest Row News, a community magazine distributed in Sussex, England. After returning to Western Australia, Deborah completed a Bachelor of Writing degree followed with an Honours by Research degree in Historical Fiction. Deborah is the author of Champions and Everyday Heroes, a West Australian social history book, published in 2014. Deborah loved to run Memoirs workshops in her local library and wrote a commissioned biography as a result. Deborah volunteered at the Peter Cowan Writers' Centre where she catalogued Edith Cowan's (first female elected to Australian Parliament) personal memorabilia and created a display at Government House, Perth for their open day. Deborah lives in Perth, Western Australia with her family and continues to travel between her 'homes' - Kenya and England. Cadigal Cove is her first full length fiction novel inspired by the shared histories of the land that she comes from and the land she lives on now.
