Welcome to my website!

I write contemporary romances because I love stories about emotions and relationships.

Finding out what makes my characters tick and weaving their stories into a complex emotional plot is an endlessly challenging and stimulating occupation.

I'm writing a new Superromance which will be out in 2010. Title and release date TBA. It's a heart-warming story about a woman doctor and her teenage son making a new life for themselves in a small Australian town - with the help and hindrance of the local hunk.

In 2009 I'll also be teaching a romance writing course at the Victorian Writer's Centre in Swanston Street, Melbourne. The 'Year of Romance' course will comprise 5x bimonthly workshop sessions held between March - November where students are taken through the process of 'the idea' through to project completion or MS first draft. Alongside the creative process, participants also learn how to market their work, prepare submissions, research, publishing opps, etc. This course is tailored towards early and emerging writers. The dates are as follows: Sundays, 10 am-4 pm; March 15, May 10, July 12, September 13, November 15. For more info contact the Writer's Centre at http://www.vwc.org.au or Tel: 03 9654 9068.

So what was I doing in 2008? I've been writing a single title contemporary romance on spec. This magnum opus is now finished and I'm looking for an agent to represent it. More info will be posted as things progress. For now I'll just say it's action-packed, both funny and emotional with a gorgeous hero and an endearing heroine. And yes, this is the pink diamond book I've alluded to previously. Now, no more, or I'll jinx it by talking about it before it sells!

FREE BOOKS Harlequin is celebrating it's 60th Anniversary. They're giving away 16 free ebooks that can be downloaded at any time during 2009. Go to www.HarlequinCelebrates.com and check out the great titles available.

NANNY MAKES THREE won the CATAROMANCE REVIEWER'S CHOICE AWARD for Superromance for 2007.
