Career

Born in Scotland in 1957, Simpson arrived in Australia in 1974.[1] Simpson worked as an investigative journalist for The Sydney Morning Herald for twelve years.[1]

She has authored and co-authored seven books. Her first book, published in 1989, co-authored with Sandra Harvey was Brothers in Arms about the Milperra massacre. The best-selling book was made into a television mini-series, Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms produced by Screentime, and screened on Channel 10 in May 2012. The series peaked at 1.43 million viewers and is available on DVD.

Her first novel, The Curer of Souls was published in 2006 by Random House. One of her crime books, My Husband My Killer, co-authored with Sandra Harvey was made into a telemovie starring Colin Friels (2000). Her third crime book, co-written with Harvey is about the serial killer John Wayne Glover.

Her next book was Honeymoon Dive, co-authored with Jennifer Cooke, and published by Pan MacMillan in September 2010 about the scuba diving death of Tina Watson on the Great Barrier Reef. It was later updated by the authors after Watson's husband Gabe was acquitted in February 2012. She also wrote is Where is Daniel with Bruce and Denise Morcombe which was released in August 2014 and concerns the abduction and murder of their son, Daniel.

Her latest book is Adani: Following its Dirty Footsteps about the environmental battle to stop the building of Australia's largest coal mine. While working on the book about climate change, Simpson travelled to India to visit Adani's coal-fired powerplant in Mundra and door-knocked at Adani's HQ in Ahmedabad.[2]

Simpson was Co-ordinator and founder of the Master of Arts (Writing) and the Bachelor of Multimedia Journalism at James Cook University and founder of the Journalism & Media Studies program and postgraduate writing program at University of Tasmania. She is now working as a full-time writer.

The tiger is the largest carnivorous mammal in Asia.[1][2] All of the animals living in Asia and its surrounding seas and islands are considered the fauna of Asia. Since there is no natural biogeographic boundary in the west between Europe and Asia, the term fauna of Asia is somewhat elusive. Temperate Asia is the eastern part of the Palearctic realm (which in turn is part of the Holarctic), and its south-eastern part belongs to the Indomalayan realm (previously called the Ori...
