About My Writing

My heroes are a mixture of Rhett Butler, Mr. Darcy, Dr McDreamy and McSteamy. My heroines are sassy, independent, yet sweet and sexy in their own way. Scarlett O’Hara is my all time favourite character.

My settings are Australian. For me there is no place better, we have it all, from the city to the beach and to the outback, the landscape is unique and beautiful yet it can be ruthless and harsh.

I hope you will come with me on my journey as a writer and enjoy the highs and lows of my characters lives as they fight to find their happy ever after.
