I just wanted to tell you that I've just finished listening to the audiobook version of Barra Creek. I stumbled on it while looking for books set in Australia, and I have to tell you how grateful I am to have found your lovely book! I enjoyed hearing about a heroine I could really support and your patient and careful descriptions of the scenery made for an amazing listen. Thanks, I really do wish it were easier to get your books in the US! |

Hi Di, Well there are so many things I would love to say but firstly how much I enjoyed reading "The Last Rose of Summer" I found it hard to put down and indeed related the ending to your own life without even reading about you as I have just done. I have also read The Reef and Barra Creek but enjoyed the Rose as No I. Normally a Josephine Cox, Anita Shreve, Jude Deveraux reader I have now been absolutely hooked on your writings and will endeavour to purchase all you write. sincerely J.Law.
PS I do wish my daughter would take up writing she was told she would be very good at it but as a mother of two youngsters it would be a challenge. Dont ever stop Di You have the ability to grasp the reader by the hand and take them into the writings with you and that is great. |

The heart of the dreaming is the most powerful book i have ever read. I read the whole thing in 1 sitting and had tears in my eyes when finished. The characters are so real, and the story was amazing. So romatic! I cant wait to read follow the morning star. |

No matter how many times I read "The Reef" I am still enthralled by the plot and the intrigue of the characters. The development of Jennifer Towse throughout the book is so accessible and just a joy to read. I am still a teenager and this book is my favourite book. I believe that this book would make an excellent screenplay and a great way to advertise Australia.

I just finished reading "Tears of the Moon". I absolutely love the love story of Olivia and Tyndall. I especially enjoyed to look at a world I know I will never see. Your descriptions of the scenery and the people made me see them as you saw them. Thank you for sharing your God given gift. Lorraine |

I have on recently started reading your books and am truly hooked on them. I started with Heart of the Dreaming and would dearly love to read the sequel Follow the Morning Star, but am having trouble getting it..can you tell me where I can get it?
Just as a footnote I just got hold of The Reef, and as was glancing through it I noticed pages 329 to 377 are upside down!!!!!
Keep up the great writing ... Regards Sandy Clarke

Just wanted to say I loved your book The Bay. It brought back so many memories as I lived in Byron 1979-1990. Used to go to the Railway Pub, worked at the meatworks until it closed and so many other things that were mentioned.
I actually bought the book for my daughter to read as she has been to Byron for a holiday. Thanks again for the memories. A fantastic read. |

Hi Di. I lived in Broome and the Kimberlies for approx 12years. I went back to Broome for a holiday in March 2007 and purchased your 2 books- Kimberley Sun and Tears of The Moon. What great reads. I could picture myself going to the places which are mentioned. Just fantastic! I have since purchased 4 more of your writings and look forward to adding to my collection. Keep up the great work. I have also recommended your books to my friends, whom have all enjoyed reading them. Once again, thank you for these beautiful writings. |

Wish to express my appreciation for your work. I was desperate for an opportunity to break away my 'reality', so while on a short holiday I was drawn to your wonderful stories. Within 2 weeks I had read The Reef, The Valley and The Bay. I just didn't want them to end.....the stories took me to places I needed to be. Thank you so much. I am currently reading Tears of the Moon and it will be my chemo buddy tomorrow. |

Hi Di
I just love your books, once I start reading them I just can't put them down and I can read them over and over again, it makes you feel that you are actually the main character in the book. I really can't wait until the next one comes out. I would love to get the Childrens book Buster and the Queen Bee for my daughter but I haven't seen it where I get my books but I will keep on looking. Thank you for writing the fantastic books that you have written and keep up the good work.
Regards

Hello again Di,
A couple of years ago I bought books from you to sell in the back room of my cafe. Due to the fact I was unable to secure a new Lease, I had to close the cafe on New Year's Eve, 2007, after seven years.My lovely Landlords then leased it out to a new Cafe Owner, probably for a higher rent.
I am now selling books on-line, to shops, cafes, Post Offices etc in the area, and am wondering if I could purchase some more from you ?
Best regards
Robyn Ritchie

Dear Di,'The Valley' was a gift to me from my parents a couple of christmas's ago.Don't know why but only just recently picked it up to read.And...could'nt put it down.I felt as if I was Isabella,Lara and Dani.I lost myself in all of the characters.I could'nt put it down.
I have been living in the UK 11 years now and come from Lismore,NSW.I have many fond memories of holidays and trips to Byron.Only at christmas did my boyfriend and I escape to Byron for a couple of days.It's a special place.Hence,as soon as I finished The Valley today straight onto the internet to order The Bay and excitedly await its arrival.
I look forward to many more hours of enjoyable reading through your books.Many thanks |

Dear Di,
Hope you are well, I have actually written to you before in regards to your book Monsoon. I think it was one of the best books that I have ever read. I was actually wondering whether you could help me. For a long time now I have wanted to move over seas and work in a third world country for a couple of years. After reading Monsoon I realised that Vietnam is the country I would like to move to, and HOPE is the type of organisation that I would like to work for. As a writer I know you do a lot of research for your books, therefore I was wondering if you knew any more about HOPE in Vietnam. I know there is a HOPE in Cambodia, however could not find information on HOPE in Vietnam. If you have any information, or could point me in the right direction of someone that I could speak to, I would appreciate it. This must me quite a random email, compared to what you are used to!
Many thanks
Hayley Astridge

Hi Di,
I would just like to thank you for your brilliant and inspiring masterpieces. Thanks to your talents, with great pleasure I have only just started reading books (other than my university texts.)
I have almost read your entire collection. Whether its sitting back in the hair dressers chair crying over the death on the young girl in 'The Bay' or sitting on the gorgeous beach in Champagne Bay, Vanuatu reading about the Australian outback in ‘Barra Creek’ or just reading into the early hours of the morning and at the moment I just cannot seem to get enough of ‘The Heart of the Dreaming, I am even dreaming about TR Hamilton.
I absolutely love your creations - the themes, the inspirational characters (especially Queenie, from ‘Heart of the Dreaming’ and ‘Follow the Morning Star’) and the descriptions of the landscapes, just to name a few things.
Your have made me want to travel our wonderful backyard, however, I think I would be utterly disappointed to go to “Tingulla” and not go horse riding with Queenie and family or visit ‘The Valley’ and not have afternoon tea with Claude and George in their Café and the many other adventures your characters have.
Keep up your fabulous work, as I very much look forward to the rest of your collection and the many more, hopefully, to come.
Many thanks Di...

I would like to commend you on your books. I love reading them and have recently shared them with some friends who have not been able to stop collecting and reading them. I will admit I am a little unsure about your new book as I love the Australian books. But it will be on my Christmas list.Growing up in Casino I could relate to "The Bay" and "The Valley".

Would like to know more about the names you gave some of the places and where they were. My parents are listening to the book now and are thrilled to read about their home town and the places and people they knew. |

Excellene reading material. As a nurse doing shift work - there is nothing nicer to come home and relax reading one of your books. I have read 3, just staring my 4th book. Thankyou for a way to relax after work and before going to bed at night. Keep up the good work. |

G'day Di, We've been on the road for a little while now, but sometimes we have to stay in one or another place just to finish one of your books at the local library.
Thanks

I'm almost finished reading "Tears of the Moon" and have been transfixed by it ever since I started reading it. All I want to do is read it so the rest of my life is now on hold. The writing is extraordinary -you feel as though you've been magically transported to Australia. I am now hooked and must find and read the rest of the books written by Ms. Morrissey. |

DEAR DI
I have just sent the lastest of your book to my anunt in Canada. They can not obtain your book over there. I took one of your book with me on a visit and left it for them to read. Now I have to send to them your lastest books to them. I am always being asked when the next book will be comming out. They love the stories of the outback and of the area arounf Broome.
Keep writting, I also love your books. My late Father always remarked " I glad toilet paper does not have writing on it, because I would never be able to go!. I was taught to read from an early age and will read anything printed on paper.
Cheers Ruth |

I was loaned a book, which sat on my bookshelf for quite some time. My son (almost 3 y.o) brought a book for me to read to him....it was Barra Creek. My mother had loaned it to me and often asked if i had read it yet. I began reading last monday, and finished tonight. Knowing I would finish today, i raced out and bought 2 more of your wonderful books, including my own copy of Barra Creek. I found whilst reading, that i was physically involved in the story...laughing and at a few points, crying, physically sobbing. No other book has brought about this kind of emotion. Thankyou. |

Really enjoyed Blaze. Then I got one of the biggest laughs I have had for a long time. To quote "Modern, large city centre and plaza". This, as a reference to Cessnock! Having just stayed a few nights there, during a wine tasting tour of the Hunter, I couldn't beleive my eyes. Is this really the same Cessnock that I had visited? That small shopping mall behind Vincent Street? I don't think Cessnock would even rate the word 'city' - small town is more like it.
Other than that - a good book. |

I have just finished a Kimberley expodition trip on the Orian explorer, which we boarde at Darwin, it then works it's way to Broome and slowly back again taking in all the splender of the Kimberley coast line. It was their that i first heard of your book "tears of the moon" which i quickly soaked into my mind, body and soul. At the time i purchased "Tears of the Moon" i alson brought "Kimberley Sun" which i am about to start, but firstly i had to tell you how much your book affected me, i felt i was living it, with goose bumps, tears, laughter, joy and sadness.I felt as though i could have turned around and went back to that incredible place they call the Kimberley, which incidently my father and my brothers named me after when i finally arrived into thier lives, they now are all over your side of OZ' now just down the road little, around Yamba they have property's. |

Congratulations on your wonderful books.The Valley particularly touched me. Being an artist..your character Dani has inspired me to 'get moving' with my art. Ive set up a special place to paint and within one week of finishing The Valley i have been accepted to show my work in a local exhibition and have signed up to have my own art stall at the Eumundi Markets.Dani inspired me to make art (my true love) my focus and since then so many doors have opened.
See how you can change peoples lives!
Thanks Dani...thanks Di.
PS A sequel to The Valley is my wish.

I am shortly publishing my own book "Power from Iberia" and hope to have even a modicum of your success. As you know, it is difficult to get published in Australia unless writing biographies or cook books, but I am sure you would agree, never say never.

Di, I would just like to say that i have been reading your books ever since your first was published. I wait impatiently for your next book. I just finished The Valley and was so touched by it. I typed in Isabella Kelly in Google and was pleasantly suprised that she was real and that a book had been written about her life. My point being that you made me believe, which is what you do in all your books and why they are so hard to put down once you start. Very honoured to read your books and hope you keep publishing such fullfilling, inspirational and charicaristic stories. Keep up the amazing work. A big fan. |

Hi Di,
I have read all of your books. Some of them twice.
I have so many ideas of stories that I am dreaming of one day having them printed as well. I come from the township of Karumba in the Gulf and really connected with Barra Creek as my family are barra fisherman.
thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and dreams in books so I can enjoy them too.

Hello Di, I just returned to the US after a 7 week vacation in Australia! It was the first time I had ever traveled to Australia and I had a wonderful time. I kept seeing your book "The Valley" in stores as I traveled. I felt like the book was calling to me! finally on the last leg of a 21 day trip to several cities I finally bought the book. It was so Great! I read it in 4 days! Finished reading it on a Train from Albury/Wogonda to Melbourne. (my sister live there)
I'm back home in California now, but have started to reread it as I'm sure I missed many interesting things.
When I finish it my daughter has already laid claim to it. Thanks for writing such a wonderful book, I felt like I knew everyone personaly while reading. I am now trying to add to my collection so I will be buying your other books. Thanks again, Helen
PS Love your Website! |

Hello Di!
Thank you for the opportunity of pinning a note to you.
I met you many years ago in Erina, NSW. You had just finished your first novel "Heart of the Dreaming" and I was so happy that you autographed a copy for me. I have enjoyed reading all your books and have kept everyone of them. Every Christmas I receive your latest book from Rani (my blue Burmese cat!) and so look forward to reading it. I am in the middle of reading "The Valley" and am unable to put it down.
You write so beautifully.
Thank you so much for all the pleasure you have given me and Good Luck with your next book.
Incidentally, I missed receiving your 2005 book -did you have a gap year?
With kindest regards,
Jean (Clayton) |

Hi Di
I just had to drop a line to let you know how fantastic 'The Valley' is to read. I just couldn't put it down. I have read several of your books, and until now I always felt 'Tears of the Moon' was my favourite, but now it is hard to decide between 'The Valley' and 'Tears of the Moon' as my favourite.
Please do keep up your excellent work and I'm looking forward to your next new book out.
Kind regards
Yvonne Hempston

As your books come out around Christmas time my beautiful godmother back in Melbourne ensures that I keep up to date with the stories we both love, with a gift of one of "our books". When I sit down to read I always feel as though I am back in Oz. And now I have to wait till Christmas..... Thank you Di |

Dear Di, thank you so much for your books. Last year I suffered from depression, following the loss of friends,reading my first Di book "Tears of the Moon" given to me by a dear friend helped change my life, made me interested in "being" again. I went on to read "Songmaster" and "Kimberley Moon" I am looking forward to a few more pleasurable years of reading . In the meantime I am taking my husband to Broome and on to "Elquestro" for his birthday. Thank you thank you Di xx |

Hi Di have really enjoyed your recent book The Valley. I attended boarding school in Taree in 1967-68 and made alot of good friends which I still keep in contact with in Taree, alot of them from Wingham. While at boarding school we often went on walks with the nuns and saw quite alot of the beautiful area around Taree. A few years back I returned to Taree for a school reunion and found that Taree still holds a special place in my heart a beautiful peaceful place to both live and raise the family. Am looking foward to your next exciting book and very soon I hope, Thank you for your wonderful books so far. Regards Anne |

Hello,
I want to write that I love your books. I am an Australian living overseas and I do get very home sick, so each visit to Australia I buy as Many Australian films and Novels set in Australia as I can. Last year I came across your books in Big W. I bought as many as I could carry and have loved every bit of them. There is nothing like falling a sleep with a little bit of home running through your dreams. So thank you my days and nights are now less lonely and my nastalgia has eased.
I just wish I didn't have to wait a year to buy more. I have been back in France for a month and have read 3 of your books I only have 2 left to read which I am sure will go fast. |

Dear Di, Last week I finished reading the most wonderful story..."Tears of the Moon". The epic love story between Captain John Tyndall & Olivia Hennessy, their extraordinary lives, and their incredible love, kept me wanting more I couldn't put the book down! I absolutely adored this story and I believe for me it will be my all time favorite! I would love to know what the emblem/symbol of "Tears of the Moon" actually looks like in your minds eye, do you have any drawings? PS: Captain John Tyndall was played by Clarke Gable in my "minds-eye"! |

Di,
I've read most of your books and found them absolutely wonderful.
This morning at 2am I finished the final page of 'Last Mile From Home'.
I was in tears.
How you write a story of human nature at its best inspires me so much and gives me that faith in writing to do a similar thing. Thank you for writing your books and giving me hope.
I've written and published ten books. My website is www.patritter.com.au. The stories I have written have mainly been about the ups and downs in my life but after reading your books you have inspired me to write about everyday happenings involving people.
Thank you again for your fine writing.

Hi Di,
Unfortunately I have mislaid your email address.
You may recall that I made contact with you a coup[le of years ago regarding the Opal Jewellery Design Awards at Lightning Ridge.?
Doctor's waiting rooms are a great place for catching up on a little reading despite the fact that the mags are outdated.
This was a september ediion of Women's Weekly with an editorial re your latest book.
It has inspired me to make contact to see if you would be interested in attending this year's event (last week in July) as one of 3 on the judging panel.
The 2 other judges will be Dalan Hargrave, a Texan who is just delightful and his work is exquisite.He joined us in 2005 and was an instanr hit. He will be joined by gary Roskin,(Gemologist) and gem editor JCK magazine in America.
You would add a touch of glamour and of course are well known out here.
I thought I'd put the feelers out and we could go from there.
We'd love to have you and would appreciate your early consideration to enable us to progress this further.
All the very best.

What a pleasure is was to read The Valley as I holidayed at Manning Point. Being able to sit on the Manning River and read completely bought the book to life. One day we ventured through Wingham up to the Ellenborough Falls, beautiful country, still remote. My hat goes off to Isabella all those years ago. Reading your novels is always a holiday treat! |

I have now read all of them and just wanted to say that this years Xmas Present (The Valley)was just as fantastic as all the others. Congratulations! I look forward to your next one, hopefully not to far away. Judy Johnson |

We moved here from Palmey North, New Zealand 18 mths ago, one of our very good aussie friends mentioned your name as a brilliant author to read. I have now read 7 of your books and my partner has just brought for me The valley and The Blaze, excellent, excellent reading. I will certainly be recommending you to my kiwi friends. Best wishes for a Happy New year. |

I was interested to read that you had been in Siem Reap, Cambodia researching for your new book, as my niece spent 9 weeks at the "Land Mine Museum Orphanage" teaching English to the children there during her "overseas travels." Received The Valley & Blaze as Christmas presents - so will be out of circulation for awhile, until I have finished them both. Best wishes for a Happy New Year. |

Since my Husband dies I have found myself time to once again read. I have now read and enormously enjoyed all your purblished books,including the latest The Valley. My daughter has for 10 years lived in the Kimberley, and after reeading your books I feel I know it better than she does. On my visits I have found an empathy with the original owners of the land. My question is a selfish one - When will you publish the next book? And where will it be set? |

Would absolutely love to read all of your books. Had the great opportunity to visit Australia 2 years ago, fell in love. Spent time in Wallengong, Brisbane and the best for last, Darby. Meet wonderful friends and hope to return one day. Where can I find your books in America? Happy wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year. |

Hello Di.
I am reading your latest book and loving it as I have all your other books.
I am curious to know where this story is based.
I have looked up HUNGERFORD but cant seem to get past that.
When I read your books I feel apart of them. My husband and I love caravanning and hope to travel all up and down the East coast when he retires in three years time.Please keep up the great writing.

I have just finished The Reef, we did go snorkelling on Lady Elliot Island and I could put myself on the Island in the book. Could you tell me the Island that you had in mind when it was written. I loved the book and have passed it on to my girlfriend. We are now searching for more books in Canada but so far have not found any. |

Thank you for another wonderful couple of days of escapism in the Valley. I felt as always I was there living with the characters and personalities so intimately described. Now what will I read over Christmas (between birthing babies)while working in maternity.
Thanks so much for your wonderful stories. |

Hi Di
Met you at the Sydney launch of The Valley. I was the last person to ask a question, asked you about yr contract pre writing 1 st book and what advise you would give other budding authors. Just letting you know my husband who thought your books were only "girly books" just finished Valley and really enjoyed it. He is 64 and a number of things in the book bought back interesing memories. He was surprised I even remembered "Empire Day".
Thanks for the yarn, now looking forward to your next offering. Must say the day of your launch was enjoyable, venue was great, but most impressive was you and your attitude to your audience and readers. It was nice to see you are down to earth and approachable. Thanks.

How insiprational you are.
I worked at the Herald Sun building in the seventies with the printing presses in the basement!
I am afraid it is our only similarity as I too wish to become a writer.
It has been a long felt passion of mine.
kind regards
