Christmas. Yes, it’s now just over five weeks away. I haven’t bought many of my presents yet, so there’s a job for December. I did buy an emergency ‘turducken’ (one of those combo turkey / duck / chicken roasts) this week, just in case we need to have Christmas here again this year. (Last year, …

I recently read a contemporary novel by a hugely …

Who can resist delightful escapes to distant lands and far away places? Prince Edward Island in Canada has been on my travel wish list …

Have you ever felt crushed by circumstances, work or expectations? Recently my husband and I returned from ten nights in Fiji. This was a very necessary mid-year escape ostensibly to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, but it also proved a majestic motivator to complete a huge range of tasks before limited internet and email capacity …

I enjoy writing contemporary Christian romance books set in small towns. The first two books in my Sydney Sweethearts series are primarily set in the city of Sydney, Australia. The third and final book in the series, Seaside Proposal, opens in a fictional small town on the south coast of NSW, Australia. I love creating …
