Living in rural Lutriwitta/Tasmania, my inspiration this haunted landscape, fragments of history, and dreams. There is a story in every rock, every wild place and every abandoned cottage crumbling by the side of the road. Sometimes, if you sit still, you can hear them. Surrounded by farms, small communities and rugged country; robust and visceral characters come alive here. And like you and I, many of them are looking for love.

Her work evokes feeling in the reader, whether it be the chill dread of a good horror, the sweet rush of romance, or the stir of nostalgia.
