I was born in New South Wales, Australia, but now reside in Queensland.
We live on the Darling Downs southwest of Brisbane where I am embraced by nature, with our beautiful horses, dogs, cats, birds and chickens. I find nothing more inspirational than being surrounded by those you love and all that you love in life.
I have always enjoyed writing and won many awards for my compositions and short stories during my school years. I was always creating tales and writing poetry, or composing songs for as long as I can remember.
Growing up with a love for books, often at night I would hide under the covers with a pen torch reading instead of sleeping. At age seven I was helping fellow pupils at school with their reading. My teacher, Mrs. Mendelssohn I was born in New South Wales, Australia, but now reside in Queensland.

Growing up with a love for books, often at night I would hide under the covers with a pen torch reading instead of sleeping. At age seven I was helping fellow pupils at school with their reading. My teacher, Mrs. Mendelssohn often gave me books to read that were two to three grades higher than the one I was in at that time. By age eight I was reading adult books as well as continuing to read the children’s ones.
When not locked away in my office writing, I am either chasing after my precocious Poodle Princess and Prince, my mighty Maremmas or lazing with the horses and chickens.
I didn’t really start writing again until I was into my early fifties.
The first novel I wrote was Luminescence: Memoirs of a Blood Hunter- a riveting and addictive historical fiction with elements of international travels..
However, the characters from my first novel would not let me sleep peacefully- they were forever visiting me in my dreams. So, of course I had to write their stories in the Luminescence Blood Hunter Series, which also includes- Memoirs of Sara, Memoirs of Tycho the Vampyr Hunter and the final installment, Memoirs of Veronika.
My first Lesbiana fiction novel is The Pink Rose. If you want a fictional story that is different, compelling, and which includes strong female characters who will appeal to all women, this series is a ‘must read’ for you’!
I have also recently published a fictional biography about the life and times of Matilda Devine, 1920s Brothel Madam, Crime Queen and Razor Gang Leader. What a woman she was!
I will be releasing a Mafia novel titled, The Godmother within the next few months.

Hi Val,
You are most welcome. That's a shame, sadly manners are disappearing more and more on social media. I hope more and more people notice :) Have a wonderful week!
