An optimist, yet overly sarcastic. Big on bringing the laughs and the heat to her paranormal romance and cosy mystery series. A huge fan of snark, with a side order of bickering and a double heaping of banter. Delivering to the page sweet alpha males and their more than a match female counterparts. Before wrapping it all up in a hugely satisfying HEA each and every time.

Living in Melbourne, Australia, with her blue tongue lizard, that pokes it head out from under the porch twice a year. When not writing, can generally be found reading.

The Beast of Gloomenthrall - a snarky, fun & hot stand alone romantasy - Released January 2025

Currently hard at work on book 15 - To Crave A Curse (Southern Sanctuary series)

Next couple up will be Fate weaver, Riya and Maat Warrior, Marcus - in To Fight A Fate. Followed by our favourite sociopath Darcy and gorgeous Declan in - To Handle A Hellcat. And then, fingers crossed - To Goad A Goddess - where we'll see Elijah and Copper go head to head. Yes - on the pregnancy front. In To Fight A Fate - Hadleigh's pregnancy woes will continue. And the answer to who will give birth first - Gaia or Haleigh - will be answered. Happy Reading.(less)

Changing Reading habits...

I love reading, don't get me wrong, but have noticed of late that I am way more picky when it comes to not only choosing a book to read, but what I find a five star read.

It's not just that I have come to realise my time is too precious to waste on bad/ annoying/ uninteresting (to me) books, but that I have glimpsed the dizzying heights of REALLY good books, and my standards are now a lot higher. I Read more of this blog post »

What a clever little gem of a book. The world building was excellent. The characters layered, and flawed just enough to be interesting. I could have used a little bit more heat on the romance front - but that is a personal preference.

Wow.

The world building was deft and marvellously creative. I wasn't too sure about Adrian at first, but he proved to have surprising layers, depth and courage. Bex though remains the standout star of this read. Her backstory is complex and just flat

Love all the different plot threads, and appreciate that some of them get tied up in books 1 & 2, but there are lots more to be addressed in book 3 - I can't wait.

To Date A Disaster by Jane Cousins
“Hey.”  Erik was now eye level with Cara’s breasts and thoroughly enjoying the view.  Maybe he should try and strike up a conversation.  “Come here often?”
“Are you talking to my breasts again?”  Cara huffed in exasperation.
“Oh… do that again, the huffing thing.”
Cara grabbed a fistful of the hair on his clearly undamaged head and yanked so Erik was forced to sit up and make actual eye contact with her.  “I can’t tell if you’re brain damaged or if you’ve always been like this. ”

“And you’re overthinking things, Charming.  Do the math.  Naked, interested man, check.  Wet, willing woman, double check.  Now insert part A into slot B and we can move on to the engineering portion of our quiz today.”
Jane Cousins, To Fight A Fate

“Is there something going on between you and Matias?”
“No!”
“Okay, I may not have a truck load of fancy degrees but all I can say is… liar, liar, I’m seriously thinking of grabbing my blow torch and setting your pants on fire.”
Jane Cousins, To Surprise A Seer

“Nothing drives home a win more absolutely for the Sanctuary than a severed head delivered in a Hello Kitty box, topped with a big gingham bow.”

Leigh Standley

“Be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn, In that case, you should always be a unicorn.”
Elle Lothlorien, Alice in Wonderland

“A wine, please.” “Ma’am, this is McDonald’s.” “Okay, a McWine, please.” —MCDONALD’S DRIVE-THROUGH, 2 A.M.”
Darynda Jones, Seventh Grave and No Body

“She’d been seconds away from kissing the man… no, throttling him, for his sheer audacity.  “You expect me to bat my eyes and thrust my tits into some hairy creature’s face and then run away like a giggling simpleton?”
“They only have the one eye under all that hair, and their eyesight is notoriously bad, so you can probably just keep your… tits where they are. ”
Jane Cousins, To Vex A Valkyrie

“Brodie found herself frowning in confusion, the rugged handsome one was making no sense. “But I just want to have sex with you… no commitment, no sharing. If anything, I would prefer it if you didn’t talk at all, before, during, or after the act.”
