What does a woman do after she’s booted out her husband for
being unfaithful? How does she face up to the neighbour from hell who is
terrorising her, supported by his unscrupulous cronies?
Alice decides to reinvent herself as new, confident, and
available. She’s not going to play the victim anymore but will fight back. Then
a tragic accident, inadvertently caused by three people who are equally to
blame, temporarily shatters her morale.
Alice’s therapy is forgiveness. Her combination of generosity,
assertiveness, and determination attracts some unlikely allies, but with so
much corruption around, who can be trusted?

Tangle is a tree-hugger who is often mistaken for a glamorous witch. She is proud of her organic smallholding in the heart of Africa.
When threatened by a bullying and corrupt businessman who starts trashing the environment and the local people, who can she turn to?
Surely not that foul-mouthed Aussie TV presenter, nor those famous and fabulously wealthy international holidaymakers, who suddenly invade her precious patch. And how could an international food-eating competition, sponsored by the USA’s tin-eared goodwill ambassador, solve her problems?
Surrounded by xenophobic bickering, Tangle struggles to assert her authority, aided by some unlikely admirers.
The Scrotum Toad is an outrageous comic novel which will have the easily offended spluttering over their lattes. Nationalities, cultures and occupations are satirised shamelessly.
You have been warned.

My second novel!
 |
| available from Amazon in Paperback and on Kindle http://mybook.to/TheCorncrake |
Life is becoming precarious for an Anglo-German family living in England on the eve of the First World War. They have very different ideas about what they should do.
A priestly father who promotes the duty of fighting for God, King and Country. A mother who flaunts her German heritage. A son full of Nietzsche, atheism and rebelliousness. What influence can each have over the talented daughter of the family, who has ideas of her own?
Irresponsible newspapers inventing stories of German atrocities and espionage stir up hatred against the family. Will pride and their strong personalities allow them to compromise and survive?
The Corncrake is a historical novel set in 1909-10 and 1914-15. It brings to life little-known facts about ordeals far from the front line.

AFRICA 1970
Briony and Tom, both in their twenties, are very different characters. But opposites attract. In business, as in love, they complement each other.

The onset of the Rhodesian – Zimbabwean War of Independence tears at the couple’s relationship. Misunderstandings arise from their conflicting personalities and from external pressures. Events pull them apart, but also bind them together.
Try the Leopard’s Mouth is a romantic thriller set in Africa. It is also a historical novel, grounded in real events in the period 1970-80

MY FOURTH NOVEL
Why can’t anyone
say what they mean? Why is my mother a Tyrannosaurus? Why did she give me such
a stupid name?
Awhina doesn’t know when to stop. She’s a brilliant young scientist at
Cambridge University with a good sense of humour but the social skills of a
rhinoceros. She lambasts her professor
because he’s a dickhead. Whoops. But he is risking the survival of humanity.
A hideous accident
on the other side of the world changes everything. Captured and terrified, she displays
her usual tactless defiance. If she could escape, a glamorous new career would open
up for her. But does she want it?
Cooee Baby is a psychological novel with elements of a thriller. Welcome to the world of Asperger's, remote tribes, movies, and astrophysics.'

“Cooee Baby
is a fascinating exploration of the life of a young woman caught between the
demands of her intellect and the challenges of her emotions. Moberly has
crafted a thought-provoking and entertaining narrative with a protagonist who
is as endearing as she is exasperating.” Literary Titan, Gold Book Award.

captivate readers from start to finish and stimulate their curiosity regarding
what lies ahead. A beautifully drawn environment, interesting characters, and
