About the author

721 books137 followersWriting romance sounds fascinating. Huh?
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.'

4.5*
This was a great read for me, which is surprising because altho I usually find hqn medicals ok I don't normally think they're great. I actually read this because I was stuck waiting at dr's office with nothing else to read. This one was on my kindle but I'd been avoiding it because I wasn't impressed with the title or the cover.
However, right from page one I was hooked. For me this book was good for some smiles, some laughter and even a few sentimental tears and in my view this makes it a great read.

This author has a way of approaching difficult topics with a rational maturity that I find refreshing. Hands down, Rescue at Cradle Lake by this author is one of my all time favorite romance books. While this book didn't reach that level for me, it was still a good story.
The h had a complicated family dynamic, and I wanted her to clear up the H's misconception about it sooner than she did. That part of the book followed a rather predictable timeline and conclusion.
Other than guessing how that would play out well before it did, I thought the overall storyline and the cast of characters were interesting, and the pacing was well done. Both the bushfire and the medical aspects were incorporated well and drove the plot without overshadowing the development of the main characters and the romance.
This is an older book, first published in 2000, but I do recommend it if you're a fan of M&B medical romances.
