Rural GP
Janice Simpson resides in Maryborough and delights in questioning authors and opinionistas, and hearing an audience laugh. She writes crime, mostly, and reads anything that’s worth reading. Actually, she fits writing in these days due to a calendar full of building a rail trail and local word festivals.
