He doesn’t need much for his own comforts (or so he thinks). His days are filled with his veterinarian practice, six rescue horses in his field, a near-new utility truck which he’s very fond of and a few carpentry jobs he’d like to focus on. Yes, he’s a builder and carpenter in his spare time so you can imagine the strength he has in his shoulders (and at that height he’d look a little odd without broad shoulders, wouldn’t you agree?). 
 
Does he consider himself heroic? He said, “No. Not at all.” But there was a masculine blush on his tanned face as he answered because Swallow’s Fall newcomer, city-girl Sammy Walker was standing at his side, so I’m thinking he’s amenable to one woman thinking him heroic.

However, there were problems in his past, and the possible consequences of those and the attraction he feels to the city-girl have put him in the unsure position of not knowing what’s going to happen next. Or how he’ll cope.

Do you have a Hunky Hero you want to share with the world?

 I also imagined reasons why she was so horrible. I gave her tragic moments in her life that shaped her and to some degree justified her despicable behavior. Of course I don’t think she had any excuses, she was just a nasty piece of work.

But now, as I reflect on those last six months of working hell, I realize that I’m lucky. Because without that experience I would never have created Abigail Mulholland, the heroine in my book:  Lost in Kakadu. Abigail is a rich pretentious bitch who survives a small plane crash in Australia’s rugged wilderness. Learning to live in such a brutal environment takes Abigail to shattering point.

But as the weeks thread into months her Botox fades, her makeup runs out and the physical labor shapes her body into a lean sensual figure that she's proud of. As she gathers the pieces of her sanity she discovers a new woman within her who's not afraid to wield an axe or eat snails in order to survive. The pompous façade disappears and a strong, passionate and resourceful woman emerges with a wicked sense of humor and a fierce determination to live.
         
I love this character, she has incredible depth and I hope my readers enjoy and feel her personal growth too. And unlike the real woman who inspired my character, I love who Abigail becomes. Authors get the best revenge... don't you think?

So… have you ever hated your boss? 
Now that you know what inspired my character, I would love to know your thoughts on Abigail Mulholland in Lost in Kakadu.

In their first sexual encounter, Sia is very open about the things that turn her on and in the course of the book, Todd makes sure every one of those fantasies comes true. It doesn’t
go all the one way – Sia does her bit for Todd too. But at the end of the book, it’s Sia’s list that’s been fulfilled. Although I daresay Sia won’t waste her time finishing Todd’s list for
him.

Regardless of what you want from your sex life, the ultimate aphrodisiac is a man who wants to give you that. That’s why Todd Lansing is such a hunky hero.

Ten years ago, Todd Lansing stood over his father’s grave, his heart thumping out curses on Sia Collins for causing his death. When he returns to Oberon and sees Sia again, his heart
thumps with a different emotion, one he fights with all the anger he still feels. 

Sia didn’t commit the break-in that ended up killing Mr Lansing, but to admit that would send her father to jail. She has rebuilt her life in the small town, atoned for her accused crime, and carved out a niche using her talent with paint to reach out to the community, raise funds, and support her family. 

When Todd finds out the truth, he can’t understand why Sia won’t speak out and clear her
  name, and it threatens to tear them apart. With her relationship with Todd on the line, will Sia choose loyalty or love?

But wait there's more?

He wasn’t born Will Parker.  It’s a surname that was chosen for him—a rebirth, a chance to make something of himself, something unexpected out of a horror childhood. 

He’s not all hard edges.  He can be charming, funny, urbane.  He likes the world’s most
expensive Scotch Whiskey and he wears a tux like a second skin. He’s comfortable with the wealth he’s made and generous with it.  But he’s equally happy in old jeans, a battered hat and worn boots.

He’s a phantom, an enigma and a temptation and under it all a fighter.
