It might have taken me awhile to live my dream, but I did it. Finally being able to call myself a published author. I can only hope that one day I will get to rub shoulders with the many talented writers out there who have kept me entertained with their wonderful stories over the years.
I live in a sleepy country town in Tasmania, Australia with my partner and three children plus our 6 cats, dog, sheep and cattle.
I've had to overcome many emotional obstacles along the way to get to this point and attempting to self publish a book does tend to make a person feel like they've thrown themselves in at the deep end of the pool some what, but here's hoping some of you actually like my stories and save me from drowning in the deep end of the pool as I probably forgot to mention, I can't swim.

1. What inspired you to be an Author?..........I have always loved to
write, even as a child. I used to write short stories, poetry and I actually
wrote Natasha's Awakening for a friend. It was only published after I was told I
should. I guess fear of failure held me back for a long time too. I simply
realised one day that I could try and maybe fail or live with the regret of
never trying.
2. What character from your book would you most likely be friends
with?.....Definitely Arissa from the third book in my Passion series.
She's a survivor of child abuse, same as myself.
3. How do you pick the names of your characters in your books?.....I
struggle with naming characters. Some names have come from friends suggesting
them but I have been known to pull out the baby names book on more than one
occasion.
4. What do you have coming in the future?......The last couple of books in
my Passion series but I've already started work on a new book for after the
vampires. I also have the novella to finish that is the continuation of the
bonus material at the end of Taming Eric.
5. How do you balance life, family, kids, work etc and still get your
writing done?......I think the family would say I don't. I have been accused of
being vague, forgetful and off with the fairies. I have to make sure I do the
jobs around the house first or I can quickly become consumed with writing and
everything else gets forgotten. To be honest if I'm totally wrapped up in what
I'm writing, I'll just do the basics around the house. Still I haven't
accidently killed any of the family yet.
6. What can readers do to help their favorite Authors?......Support them,
buy their books, recommend their books. Word of mouth is a powerful thing. I
have a group of ladies who are not only readers of my books but friends and I
will gift them books or swag sometimes but some of my readers totally amaze me
with their generosity, sending me food, chocolates, books, cards, even some
beautiful home made gifts.

Purchase the book: Passion After Dark: Book 1 of The Passion Series
Sirene Devereaux came to town when she was hired to do a job. She was
looking for someone, a man, but no ordinary one. To hide her real
reasons for being in town she got a job waitressing in a club, but
Sirene was no waitress. Her real passion was singing and she dreamed of
doing it for a job but she had a secret, she was a witch and the man
she'd been sent to find was a vampire. It didn't take long for her to
find somewhere to live, make friends and she didn't even have to track
down who she was in town for, he found her. Fabian Sorensen wanted
Sirene the moment he laid eyes on her but unfortunately she wasn't
falling under his spell like most women did. When finally he has the
opportunity to spend a night with her it didn't take long to discover
things weren't right with her and in a fit of rage, he threw her out of
his home and vowed he'd kill her. She was everything he hated, a witch
and he was everything she couldn't trust, a vampire but despite numerous
challenges that threaten their very lives they find themselves drawn to
one another. Fabian has never cared about a woman in his life. They
were nothing more than a source of blood and sex but something about
Sirene got to him. She was worming her way in and for the first time in
600 years he was coming to care about someone other than himself. The
question was could their relationship survive all that threatened to
destroy it? Could a vampire and a witch truly find love?
