I am so grateful my parents took that horrific 8 week boat trip out from England to immigrate to
Australia when I was just 4 years old. Because although I have travelled extensively - some 36 countries and counting, I know I live in the best place in the world. When I dream up my stories Australia always has a special place in my novels.

My latest book - Lost in Kakadu - is romantic suspense set in Australia’s Kakadu National Park. Kakadu is some 20,000 square kilometers of rugged Australian bush and it’s as beautiful as it is brutal. The scenery changes from lush overgrown rainforest, to open savannah, to crocodile infested swamps. The sunsets are the work of our greatest artist and the thunderstorms can rattle your bones. 

I’m proud to call Australia home. And almost everywhere I’ve travelled I’ve heard our great Australian mantra: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi Oi Oi.

Want to win a FREE copy of my eBook - Lost in Kakadu? 
Simply make a comment below on what was the most disgusting thing you've eaten and why.  Three lucky winners will be chosen at random on 29th of January - Good luck.
See below for more great prizes: $100 gift card and 26 books up for grabs

Lost In Kakadu.
Crashing into an ancient Australian wilderness is pretentious socialite Abigail Mulholland’s worst nightmare. She survives the accident with two complete strangers, however things go from bad to downright hellish when rescuers never come. As she battles to live in an environment that’s as brutal as it is beautiful, Abigail finds herself also fighting her unlikely attraction to Mackenzie--a much younger man. A man she’s willing to change for.

Mackenzie Steel is devastated by his partner’s death in the crash, the only person with whom he shared his painful past. Now, as he confronts his own demons, he finds he has a new battle on his  hands: his growing feelings for Abigail, a woman who's as frustratingly naïve as she is funny.

Fate brought them together, but they’ll need more than luck to escape Kakadu alive.  Could the letters of a dead man hold the key to their survival?
My book costs less than a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and is available at: Amazon, Booktopia, Google  Play, Kobo, Itunes

My lovely yet crazy author friend Noelle Clark has bestowed upon me this award.  I can't decide if she is being nice or mean. The rules may be a simple as ABC but I'm not sure the answers will be.  Here are the rules:
1.    Display the logo and link back to the person who gave you the award.
2.    Nominate some other blogs.
3.    Work through the alphabet writing one word or phrase about yourself or things you like or associate with yourself, that begins A...B....C....  All 26 of them.

So here goes:
A: Adventurous - yep that's me to a T. I love experiences that make me scream.
B: Books - not a day goes by when I don't read.
C: Cheese and Chocolate - not usually together.
D: Dean - my wonderful husband.
E: Explorer - I love a good adventure. Egypt - my favourite exotic holiday.
F: Family and friends - they mean everything to me.
G: Girlfriends - I'd be lost without my girlfriends. We share all our ups and downs usually over wine.
H: Happy - I'm a glass half full kinda girl. Actually if it's wine then fill it up baby.
I: Interesting - with the crazy life I lead, I like to think my friends and family find me interesting. 
J: Journey - because life is about the journey - not always the destination.
K: Kids - I'm so very proud of my two sons.
L: Love - I've been with my real life hero for 28 years and couldn't imagine life without him.
M: Madness - I'm an author and with all the characters running around my head I could be a little nuts
O: Opportunity - I don't like to let a chance go by.
P: Passion - 'cause that's how I roll.
Q: Quest for knowledge - the day I stop learning is the day I start fading.
R: Romance - I love it, so I write about it. I think I'm lucky to believe in it.
S: Sunset's - with my hubby, oh, and Sauv Blanc and Swiss cheese. 
T: Travel - I always have a holiday on the horizon. Europe here we come.
U: Uninterested in TV - Hardly ever watch TV, but love a great movie.
V: Visionary - I'm a goal setter. My bucket list has 101 things on it. I have 68 to go.
W: Wine and writing - sometimes at the same time.
X: X-rated movies are not my thing. Much prefer a great storyline.
Y: Youthful - sometimes I'm just a big kid.
Z: Zeal - That's how I approach my life. It's too short to waste even a day.

So now I bestow this award to:

1) The wonderful, fantabulous author Sarah Belle
2) The incredibly talented Juliet Madison 
3) The effervescent Tania Joyce
4) The exciting new author Darry Fraser
5) The stylish and sophisticated J'Aimee Brooker
