In March 2014, a group of writers from far-flung parts of the country were meeting up for their eighth or ninth writersâ retreat ⦠The first retreat originated when four of us got together for the Crocodile Creek series of books, and with other friends invited it became a yearly eventâa week somewhere near a beach, for brainstorming, writing, an occasional sip of wine and, recently, great lobster for lunch at a nearby restaurant.
So there we were, Marion Lennox, Alison Roberts and myself, amongst our other friends, with a vague idea of doing something together againâa series ⦠six books ⦠a tropical island. We threw some ideas around, wrote notes, drew island pictures and then went homeâthousands of kilometres from each other but still in touch. About halfway through that year we got serious enough to actually work out a few overall continuity ideas, and each of us decided on our characters and the bare bones of a plot for our own story.
I think it was Marion who put it all together and sent if off for editorial approvalâwhich we got, with a few stipulations. Then began the fun of fitting the books in with already scheduled books and getting the stories written. My workload at the time was lightest, so I said I would do the first bookâsetting up the island itself, introducing the characters who would be in most of the books and generally getting started.
So here, lucky reader, is the first of six books set on Wildfire Island, a small island in the MâLangi group, way out in the Pacific Ocean. Privately owned, the island is falling on hard times and in need of rescueâso rescuing it and rescues of another kind are a thread running through the books.
Enjoy!

MEREDITH WEBBER lives on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, but takes regular trips west into the Outback, fossicking for gold or opals. These breaks in the beautiful and sometimes cruel red earth country provide an escape from the writing desk and a chance for the mind to roam freeânot to mention getting some much needed exercise. They also supply the kernels of so many stories she finds itâs hard to stop writing!
To Linda and Alison and the writing friends
we share and loveâlong may Maytone survive!
AS THE SMALL plane circled above the island, the hard lumps of pain and worry that had been lodged in Caroline Lockhartâs chest for the past months dissolved in the delight of seeing her home.
From the air, the island looked like a precious jewel set in an emerald-green sea. The white coral sand of the beaches at the northern end gleamed like a ribbon tying a very special parcel, the lush tropical forest providing the green wrapping paper.
Coming in from the west, they passed over the red cliffs that lit up so brilliantly at sunset that early sailors had called the island Wildfire.
As they flew closer, she could pick out the buildings.
The easiest to find was the palatial Lockhart mansion, built by her great-grandfather on a plateau on the southern tip of the island after heâd bought it from the MâLangi people who had found it too rough to settle.
Lockhart Houseâher home for so many yearsâthe only real home sheâd known as a child.
The house sat at the very highest point on the plateau, with views out over the sea, ocean waves breaking against the encircling reef, and beyond them the dots of other islands, big and small, settled and uninhabited, that, with Wildfire, made up the MâLangi group.
