Bestselling Australian author
I did something last week I’ve never done before (usually a good thing). I took part in a Valentine’s Day writing collaboration – with some of my lovely Choc Lit friends. The idea was to do a ‘round robin’ story – with each of us writing a part of the story… For me, at least,…
The answer to that is very low – when you are in Israel. I got down to 427 metres (that’s 1,401 ft) BELOW sea level – the lowest place on the planet where you can still breathe… I’m talking about the Dead Sea of course – what an astounding place it is…
How do I write.. and why? These are scary question that I have this week been thinking about, because the lovely Gwen Kirkwood (who writes lovely historical novels – mostly set in Scotland) tagged me in the ‘my Writing Process’ blog tour.

I’ve been so busy these past few weeks getting two books ready for publication, I barely noticed how close the holidays are. Bring Me Sunshine is now launched into the world. I had such fun doing that – thanks you to all my Facebook and Twitter friends who joined in. And thanks to everyone…
I’m really excited to announce that my new book is out there – making it’s way in the world and hopefully onto a Kindle or two. We have called it Bring Me Sunshine – because it a book about a girl who brings the light back into the life of a man who has…
