I was born in the Mater Hospital in Sydney and grew up on the Northern Beaches. I now live in Lake Macquarie and work in Newcastle. I have variously given birth to a son in South Wales, a daughter in New South Wales, run an internet dating agency, made dreamcatchers and tested telephone lines. My poems and stories have been published here and overseas. Tomaree is my first published novel and my second novel Crossing Paths, inspired by BookCrossing, is up at Amazon. I have recently completed my manuscript I Remember the White set in Mayfield, NSW in 1920 and Serbia in 1917 and 1918.I blog on writing and researching historical fiction at wordpress and I roundup the historical fiction reviewed every month for Australian Women Writers www.australianwomenwriters.com
