I'm a mother of three, a born and bred Sydney-sider now living in a beach suburb in country New South Wales, Australia. A former nurse, waitress, store assistant, perfume and chocolate (yum!) demonstrator, I believe in taking on new jobs for the fun experience! I'll try almost anything at least once to see what it feels like—a fact that scares my family on regular occasions.

I fell into writing by accident when my husband brought home an article stating how much a famous romance author earned, and thought, "I can do that!" Years later, I found my niche at Intimate Moments. I can be found most mornings walking and swimming at the local beach with my husband, or every afternoon running around to my kids' sporting hobbies, while dreaming of flying, scuba diving, belaying down a cave or over a cliff—anywhere my characters are at the time!

My friends don’t call me Anne of Green Gables for nothing. If there is a disaster happening, I’m there somewhere; if there’s trouble to get into…yup, there she is! I do enjoy life and adventure, and subscribe to the quote from the famous Aussie movie, Strictly Ballroom: “A life lived in fear, is a life half-lived.” The characters in my books, whether it’s suspense or comedy, tend to live the same way.
