Romance

I’m a librarian & former English and history teacher who grew up by the beach in Sydney. These days, Canberra, Australia is home for me and my partner, our kids and Tully the border collie. We are all tolerated by a Bengal cat.

If you love uplifting romance with a touch of cheeky Australian humour, my stories may connect with you.

My writing is driven by my belief in the restorative powers of storytelling & nature, the little things that at once bind us, & set us apart in this world.

Book Coming Soon

Duty and desire collide in a love that’s undeniable.

For readers who love an emotional, slow burn romance, where she falls first, then he falls harder…

A jaded army officer with everything to prove to himself, and a disenchanted archivist who intends to prove just how much she has to give.

Set in the Australian Capital and sultry Far North Queensland, my first novel is about finding family, love and forgiveness in unexpected places.
