I have always been fascinated by those wondrous beacons, lighthouses. I have lived on the coast all my life and passed by a Lighthouse regularly. The Western Australian coast is known as the shipwreck coast, the treacherous reefs claiming many victims over years. Many lighthouses dot along the rugged coastline.
I visit lighthouses whenever I travel and so it seemed like the perfect place to set Book One of The Peron Cove mysteries. Although the lighthouse in the fictional town of Peron Cove is not a real lighthouse, it is based on several Western Australian and Victorian lighthouses I have visited. The cottage in which one of the main characters, Ben, lives is based on the real Lighthouse Keepers cottages found beside Australian lighthouses.
