I am published in Australia, NZ, UK, Ireland, Norway, Greece and Germany. I'm so grateful to everyone who buys and reads my books. Thank you! ...more

Anything I’m passionate about. Dreams. Snippets of conversations. Visuals. Photos! And questions… lots and lots of questions. I am eternally inquisitive and want to know everything about everything (some people might unkindly call that obsessive), and from those questions I want to find answers.

I start to do research (books, magazine, internet, television) and gather lots of facts (which I just love to do) and small fragments will really jump out at me and hook me. Then I follow that hook down a trail of discovery.(less)

I did lots of research about coffee, really intellectually interested, but I had no passion for it. So I had to ask myself, what was I passionate about? And the answer was bees!

So I did research on bees and was really getting into that. I’d abandoned my family saga and was now trying to write a book about beekeeping and corporate sabotage, but there were these nuns in the background who were very strong and very insistent. I kept writing this book on corporate sabotage and I kept trying to write the nuns into the story until it became clear that they didn’t belong there at all.

So I had to ask them, what do you want?

And they wanted a whole book. Specifically, Maria, one of our main characters, wanted a whole book. And when something turns up that strongly and persistently, as a writer, I believe it’s my duty to write it down.(less)

Quotes by Josephine Moon  (?)

“Then she stood in front of Elizabeth, her hands on her hips. ‘Now, this is the plan.’
Thank God. There was a plan. She didn’t have to try to figure out this horrible mess herself. She just had to follow the plan.
‘I’ve told work you’re not coming in for a few days. Your sister has organised for John to be out of the house for the next two hours. We’re going to your place and we’re packing three suitcases of your things. Then you’re coming back to my house for two days, and I will feed you cups of tea, chocolate, ice cream and vodka on constant rotation as the mood necessitates. You can resign from your job when you feel ready. Then you’re getting on a plane.’
‘A plane?’
‘Your parents have organised a ticket home to London.”
Josephine Moon, The Tea Chest

“She carried a notebook with her everywhere and brimmed with ideas. She often woke in the night and switched on the light to scribble down her thoughts.”
Josephine Moon, The Tea Chest
