I'm a writer. I'm boring. Day after day I sit behind a word processor making up people in my head. Why do I do it? I love it. My husband, Dave, gets up in the morning, puts on a suit and heads out into the ice and cold of Ballarat's winter. (Sadly I live in one of the tiny parts of Australia that qualifies as cold.) I make myself another cup of coffee, head up to my study, choose what music I want and sit and daydream. And I get paid for doing it. Hooray!
My first attempt at writing romance, 'Dare To Love Again', a Medical Romance, was published by Harlequin Mills and Boon in 1990. It still stands today as a monument to my family's ability to survive on cheese sandwiches and spaghetti.
Since then I've written over 80 Romances for Harlequin Mills and Boon, with more on the drawing board. (I used a pseudonym - Trisha David - for the first few Romances but suffered with a split personality and have since reverted to being Marion Lennox all the time.) In between romances, I've co-authored a non-fiction history, (I love local history) done the odd (very odd) spot of housework and done a heap of travelling - research :-)
I come from a farming community. You can probably tell this from my books. There's not a skyscraper in sight. I'm very much a pets person. Chloe and Harry were my constant canine companions for many years as I wrote, demanding walks and air freshener at frequent intervals. Sadly I lost them, and for a while I vowed not to get another. My heart was broken and my study smelled so clean! But.. The cat and I missed them so badly we weakened and bought Mitzi. Mitzi's a black and silver mini-schnauzer who makes me and the cat laugh. Expect to find her in future stories.
If you're interested in formalities, I hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree and a teaching diploma. I have a couple of kids and a huge extended family who look on me with affectionate tolerance. Marion? The crazy one who talks to people in her head... I've had nine nominations for the Rita, winning twice, and fourteen for the Australian Book of the Year. After years of thinking of my writing as a hobby I guess I finally now qualify as a `real' writer.
Thank your for taking the trouble to check out my web page. Now try my books. We might even end up having fun together. And write to me. I show my family - `See? Real people do like the things that go in in my head.'

this was a quick read, reminded me of a Hallmark movie. I liked how they found a way to make being royalty work for both of them when they worked together.

This book starts off horribly. A baby is ripped from it's ill mother and her sister passes it off as her own. Making matters worse, the new baby is heir to a kingdom after the king dies, although it isn't really the king's son. If you can get past the first few chapters where the ludicrious plot starts, the actual relationship between the two main characters is good. Heroine has an odd job she's passionate about - boat building. And the Prince, is a landscape architect.

More like 2.75 stars for the over the top circumstances.

Liked it but felt that the story introduced external conflicts that I was expecting to escalated really high with a lot of drama. I mean the evil villain was even given an internal mknologue scene so you bet I'm expecting more. I was a little disappointed that there weren't a lot contact with the villain and the main characters.
Send her off and ban her from the palace does not cut it for me. Still the story was somewhat enjoyable.
