About the author

Shauna writes crime mysteries for people who love to work out the clues and discover the murderer before the answer is revealed in the final chapters. She also writes contemporary women's fiction with strong, emotional stories that include family, friendship and love mixed with secrets and a little mystery.

The locations for her books are based on many of the places she's lived or visited, creating realistic settings from cities, small towns and coastal communities in England, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

If you love romance stories with strong heroines then check out the Clearwater Bay series set in New Zealand. If you like sorting out clues from red herrings you'll want to read the Lexie Wyatt murder mysteries set in England.

Other than writing (or surfing the internet pretending she's researching), Shauna loves reading, running (or more likely walking), coming up with excuses not to attend Zumba, and trying to find new ways to use the excess fruit from the trees in the garden.

Shauna is always happy to hear from people and you can find her on Twitter, Pinterest and via her website or through good old-fashioned email.
