Where to start, I always get a little self-conscious talking about myself, I generally think I am pretty average and on occasion a touch boring. But let's see if a can hold your interest for a few lines (I tend to get carried away so a few lines may be optimistic).
I have three wonderful albeit sometimes crazy daughters; they are very funny and sweet, yet at times they drive me up the wall. I have been happily married for twelve years and yes I do know that if I had murdered someone I would have had time off for good behaviour. In fairness I am not sure how my husband has not only put up with me, but has also remained supportive.

About 3 years ago I completed an Undergraduate Degree in Social Work and have been a Child Protection Social Work since this time. Whilst I love my job it can be very time consuming, pressured and emotionally draining.
What do I do in my spare time, well I cook, clean, iron, read stories, check homework, mmm what else? I READ and READ, seriously I started reading novels at the age of 13. Danielle Steel and Catherine Cookson were the first authors of adult fiction that I ever read (my mother was a huge fan), how did I feel, in a word devastated and exhilarated, no-one told me that people died and suffered in novels, it never happened in Enid Blyton books!!! I feel like some adult should have prepared me for this, maybe counselling, lol. Moving onto Jackie Collins and Jilly Cooper was less traumatic and more glamorous but all of the above authors were very important iin my reading experience.
Over the years I have read across most genres, the first time I read a suspense novel I was terrified, when I read fictional crime novel, I nearly killed myself trying to work out who had actually done it. I have always inevitably strayed back to romance, always looking for that strong man to whisk me off my feet and take me into a fantasy land. Then about 2 years ago I stumbled into the Paranormal Romance Genre, wow I was hooked, this whole new world opened, romance, alpha males, sex and love combined with amazing story lines made reading a whole new adventure.
This year my family faced tremendous upheaval, after making the life changing decision to move from the UK to Australia. This has been and continues to be an exciting adventure for all of us, however I am now in a job where I am discouraged from working 60-70 hour weeks, I have few friends, no local family and consequently fewer functions to attend. The result, The SILVER SERIES. I decided to channel my years of reading into something new. Honestly I was not expecting to pen anything that was remotely legible, but what started as one book has developed and I am now writing book 4.
Writing has been an amazing experience for me, starting with an idea that over time develops into something completely different is so exciting. Reading a book when it is completed is such a thrill, in the Wolf with the Silver Smile there were times when the storyline made me feel very emotional, I actually walked away from the computer at one point and had to remind myself that I had written this book and knew the ending. Each book is a journey of its own.

Hopefully you are still awake enough to find out a little bit more about the Silver Series and the Silver Wolf Pack. ...more

“Theo felt a lump in his throat, what the hell was all this emotion about? Gods did women feel like this all of the time, how the hell did they get anything done?”
