I was born in Palmerston North, a small provincial town in the lower north island of New Zealand. Lucky enough to be raised by parents that loved each other their whole lives, they have been an inspiration to me. I started a career in the financial industry when I lived in Auckland. I loved the city life in my younger years and this experience gave me the idea for my first ever book, Conflict of Interest. After having my first child I longed to be back home. I missed the quiet, peaceful Manawatu, so moved back home. I now live in the small rural town of Feilding. Trying to juggle a career and three growing children was tough. So when I had the opportunity to become a full-time mother I decided to explore this idea that just wouldn't leave me alone, becoming a romance writer. I love the freedom it allows me to write what I want and nuture my creative side.
