I lived in a hostile, domestic violence filled relationship with a cult-like family for almost 15 years and when me and my children finally left over 10 years ago, I always thought it'd make a good story just to show the lengths some people will go to in order to control what they believe is their right to.

I go back over any old manuscript I've written and read it and once I get the urge to start editing instead of just reading then I know I'm back on track.

The best think would have to be giving a happy ending to each love story. No matter the obstacles the hero and heroine face, true love always wins - not something a lot of us get to see in real life. I guess that's why it's called fiction.

I always said I should write my story into a book - young girl drawn into a cult like family, fled domestic violence 15 years later with four children. I guess the mystery is how did I escape. Bigger mystery is how I managed to meet up with an old friend and find the happiness I always hoped to find.

All my stories find their way connected to my home town in Queensland, Australia, and so many characters are based on people, or families, I've met. It seems odd to so many people that I set my books in such a small, obscure, town, but I find the history of this remote area fascinating and I want to share some of that with my readers. I also like to share a piece of myself in each book, so in every title there is a little bit of my own families history and struggles when they migrated to Australia during the 1800s. I find their will to survive in a new country my greatest inspiration to create stories.

Carnal Transgression came from an idea I got whilst doing my family tree. My mother's grandfather was an Irish policeman who migrated to Australia in a time when corruption was very present in the Queensland police force. It made me also aware of the many Irish men and women who were shipped to Australia to be no better than slaves. I doubt many of them found a happy ending in their real lives, so I thought I could at least give one in fiction.
