Shrimp Coptales

It was a different time. A carefree time. A time before the internet, before mobile phones and before the worries of today.



Widenbridge, an Australian country town, populated by Australian country people with Australian country attitudes. Widenbridge had its heroes, its characters, its rogues and a retired detective named Daniel 'Shrimp' Nolan.

Widenbridge, built on the banks of the Wombadgalong River, is the setting for the stories of Shrimp Nolan. Nolan had two great loves: his late wife Maggie and fishing.



Rich in imagery, 'Shrimp Coptales' takes you on a journey through the reminiscences of Detective Nolan. Murder, drugs, a bank hold up, a touch of romance and a twist of history make up this collection of short stories. 'Shrimp Coptales' will have you turning pages, smiling and weeping. Most importantly you'll be feeling like you are at home in Widenbridge.
