I was born in Manly on the Northern Beaches in Sydney, Australia and grew up in the west after we moved there to help my brother’s eczema which was made worse by salt air. I now reside in the beautiful sunny state of Queensland.
My dad had the biggest impact on my life. I have always had an overactive imagination and would often tell him stories which floated in my mind. He encouraged me to put pen to paper convinced that one day they would become published books.
Apart from marrying the love of my life, the highlight of my life was being accepted into Nursing just before my 16th birthday. It had been a long-time dream and one which encompassed 37 years of my life. Along with nursing, being married to a Naval Officer for almost 47 years, and posted in numerous places, gave me experiences which I have written into many of my books.
We enjoy traveling the country with our Caravan/RV, and Jack Russell puppy by the name of Gemma who will be joining us.
As my parents were British, never Australian citizens, I hold dual citizenship and we plan to take advantage of this to spend two years traveling the UK and Europe in the near future. It will also give me the opportunity to catch up with many family members who reside in England.
My books are in various genres - Western Historical Romance-both steamy and sweet, Contemporary Romance-steamy and sweet, Male/Male, Australian Outback and City Romance. I also have one menage and one paranormal romance along with two children's books. As I said earlier, I have a rather overactive imagination.
I hope you will pick up one of my books and when you close the cover on one of my stories it will be with a satisfied sigh.
Loved this anthology. I don't read a lot of anthologies but I did like this one. This as same great stories by some great authors. Loved some more than other. #kbsbloggingandreviews
This anthology has something for everyone from dark drama to light comedy, including an MM story that is sensational by Olivia Ellen Turner. This contemporary romance has lots of drama and a fair bit of miscommunication as two best friends move on with their lives—apart. These two lead characters are terrific, so thoughtful and caring and really perfect for each other, if only they could get their acts together! While there is a heavy emphasis on the relationship between these men, Damien nd Logan, there’s another element that is absolutely heartbreaking and I am not ashamed to admit I was brought to tears by the wonderful words by this author.
I totally recommend this anthology as there is something for everyone’s tastes.

~ Blow Me by LC Taylor ~ This is a new author to me and I loved this story. But the ending NOOOOO I need to know where the hell it went, I have a guess but not sure if its correct or not. So can't wait for the full length novella.
~ That Night by S.L. Davies ~ This is another new author to me and I loved the story. I can so relate to Vi as my mother was the same but not as bad as hers.
