USA Today Bestselling Author Demelza Carlton has always loved the ocean, but on her first snorkelling trip she found she was afraid of fish.
She has since swum with sea lions, sharks and sea cucumbers and stood on spray-drenched cliffs over a seething sea as a seven-metre cyclonic swell surged in, shattering a shipwreck below.
Sensationalist spin? No - Demelza tends to take a camera with her so she can capture and share the moment later; shipwrecks, sharks and all.
Demelza now lives in Perth, Western Australia, the shark attack capital of the world.

Swamp Soup

Okay, it's actually Pea, Chestnut and Bacon soup, based on this recipe from Chestnuts Australia, but the first time I made it, it was such a vivid green, it looked like something that had come out of a swamp, or a witch's cauldron. It tasted so incredible, though, that I couldn't resist making it again.

Ingredients:

400g cooked, peeled chestnuts

1L chicken or vegetable stock (I used chicken)

250g dic

Quotes by Demelza Carlton (?)

“An ambulance took four hours to reach a car accident and take the injured driver to hospital. He could have died in that time and he was lucky to live. I found myself practicing first aid skills I only knew from theory and courses, then later having to assume a level of responsibility I hadn't expected.”
― Demelza Carlton, Maid for the Rock Star

“lines he'd splattered on the wall of his villa? He hadn't quoted Romeo and Juliet, though – his lines had come from a different play. One she hadn't been as familiar with, though she did remember a few lines of it. "All the world’s a stage, And all the men”
