I live by a beach just north of Cairns – my own tiny slice of paradise in North Queensland. When I'm not writing, you'll find me flying Dash 8 aircraft for QantasLink around regional Australia.
I write romantic suspense with feisty, confident heroines who (not surprisingly) work in the aviation industry. My stories are set in the top end of Australia – a wild and wonderful, larger-than-life environment just begging to be showcased in anticipation-filled novels.
And the heat is building!
Cooktown’s forecast to have a balmy 30 degrees celsius and blues skies today. What’s it going to be where you are? Hope you enjoy the trailer for Northern Heat! Thanks to Trailermade Production for capturing the heart of the story.

In 1979 I watched Deb Wardley (Lawrie) do battle with the aviation giant that was Ansett. She took on the establishment of the old boys’ club to win the right to be Australia’s first female airline Continue reading

Vale Colleen McCullough
A sad day for Australian readers… I first read The Thorn Birds in my early teens. It inspired me at the time and continued to inspire me when I finally sat down to write my first story. I’ve reread it many times over the year and the story never grows stale. Bittersweet is on my Continue reading
