Hi! So, if you haven’t read it already, I recently published a short story on Vocal: https://vocal.media/wander/the-rockstar-in-japan For those who have read my other books, here are my thoughts about how the story relates to them: While writing A Rockstar in Japan, I imagined that the main character was Holly, Jess’s friend from Australia in […]

I think this is the first time I’ve released a book in January, but I kind of cheated, because I started writing this one in 2019. I was on a flight from Brisbane to LA (going to the RWA conference in New York!) and decided I should make the most of all that downtime. I’d […]

Woo-hoo! I managed to squeeze in one more book for 2019. The Oceanic Dreams series took up a bit more time than I anticipated this year, so I’m very excited to release Mind Reader today! This story was inspired by my love for Netflix’s Lucifer and the movie TiMER. I hope you enjoy it! It’s […]

Last week, I returned from New York where I attended my first RWA (US) conference, and it was amazing! I was very lucky to have been awarded the regional arts grant from Sunshine Coast Council, which helped fund my registration and travel. So after a few days sightseeing and catching up with fellow author Diane […]

ONE Yeah, this was a mistake. I should have trusted my gut, but I made the decision at two in the morning while I was feeling sorry for myself—and after almost a whole bottle of red wine. My gut hadn’t quite been working the way it was supposed to. I had huge misgivings the next […]

Actually, it’s been out for a couple of weeks now, so apologies for being so slack. It’s been a ridiculously busy few months, but I managed to release MultiDate in the middle of the year, and now two books from the 90s Flashback Series in October / November. In 1997, we revisit Anna as she […]

The first book in my new 90s Flashback series is out! I was inspired to write 1996 after reading through all my old high school diaries and realising how different my memories were compared to what it was actually like. And I’ve always been a bit obsessed with time travel, so I thought of my […]

I’m a bit late in promoting this book, since it came out last Tuesday (the 12th of June), but I wanted to make it official. MultiDate is out and it’s only 99c for a few more days. After that, it will return to its normal price of $2.99 – or you can get it for […]
