I grew up on the beautiful northern beaches in Sydney, Australia and I've never lost my love for the ocean. I now reside in Canberra with my husband and children. I started writing romance in 1998 and when I discovered the inspirational romance genre in 1999, I knew I'd found a genre I would love to write. I write contemporary inspirational and sweet romance set in Australia. Writing became a lower priority when my children were young. But my desire to write didn't diminish and I started writing again during my precious few hours of 'kid-free' time. A regular at my local gym, I've discovered the benefits of exercising to enhance my creativity. I'm a busy mum with a part-time supervisor role in retail. I'm also a co-founder of the 30 Minute Bible Studies website and Australian Christian Readers Blog Alliance (ACRBA). In 2011 I served as Co-President of the Faith, Hope and Love Inspirational Chapter of Romance Writers of America (FHL) and I served as Vice President of FHL from 2008-10. I'm also a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, Romance Writers of Australia and Omega Writers Inc. In September 2012 I sold my first book to Harlequin® Love Inspired® Heartsong Presents. I was thrilled to sign a six book contract in February 2013 for two 3-book series of contemporary inspirational romances set in Australia with Aussie characters. The first series is set in a fictitious small town near the Snowy Mountains and the second series is set in Sydney. The book I initially sold will be my fourth release. My first book, Falling for the Farmer, is a February 2014 release in North America. I'm represented by Steve Laube from The Steve Laube Agency.
