“It’s my dream that through my writing I’m able to give readers a taste of the beautiful Australian countryside, from the dust on your face, the smell of horses and cattle, unforgettable Aussie characters, and to the country sun on your skin.”

I live in the picturesque country town of Grenfell, which is situated in Central West New South Wales. Grenfell’s heritage is rich in gold, bushrangers and poetry and is right next door to Young, the cherry capital of Australia…yum!

I consider myself to be a country girl through and through, with a passion for wide open spaces, paddocks full of horses and cattle, rodeos, country music, and the fair dinkum Aussie way of life. I’ve also been known to sniff the air madly when a cattle train goes by. I just love the smell of the cattle on board!
