My books are about life. The novels are mostly about women who are following their dreams, in all areas of life. I never know what is going to come when I sit down to write. I used to plan before writing, but then I would sit down and write something different. Usually there are elements from my own life, and ideas that are on my mind. They’re quite cheerful all the way through, and they always end well.
More recently, I’m following the narrative engine of joyful expansion to drive the story. More about that with the release of my next book, The First Mindbend, due out 1st August. In the meantime, have a read of the following, to see which one sounds most inspiring to you right now.

The Moment of Change
There is nothing much to say about Happily Ever After. The story that comes before is infinitely more interesting. Sometimes life throws in an element of the random. I try to embrace it. The only mistake at this point would be to try to keep things on their previous course.
28-year-old Ocean has been running her whole life – away from something, searching for something – not even she knows. Arriving in Picton after a long journey and embraced by the dark, dramatic hills of the Marlborough Sounds, she senses the wild Merry-go-round is finally spinning to a stop.
Tasha Stuart interviews…
Being a professional interviewer is Tasha Stuart’s dream job, giving her a backstage pass to the world of rock stars, celebrity chefs and criminal masterminds.
The only problem is that people don’t always tell the truth about themselves, and being responsible for the image they present to the world has the potential to backfire. Add to this the necessity of single-handedly financing home and family while her husband takes time out for his mid-life crisis, and Tasha’s ingenuity is stretched beyond all previous limits.
Slow Time
The only thing certain in life is change.
I came home from university to find my once thriving home town is dying, and none of the people who raised me have had the heart to turn it around.
With my fresh new Business degree it’s obvious: I’m the one. But how can I? How can I even begin to turn all those relationships, with all those people, upside down?

Inventor
Delusions of grandeur – that’s what I’ve got, so they tell me. But what if they aren’t delusions? What if I can change the world?
For as long as Jackie can remember, she has dreamed of the ultimate invention, the one simple thing that will radically improve lives. She thinks she has found it, and she wants everyone to know about it – but that means leaving her quiet life and going out into https://mybook.to/BSRAeDIthe world.
Is she ready for the changes she is facing? Can she hold onto herself through the challenges of her new life? And is there any possible way to keep everyone around her happy, through it all?
The Old Occidental Writers’ Hotel
Lose everything and find yourself. That’s the bargain. I don’t remember making it, I can’t imagine ever agreeing to it, and now I’m in the midst of it, I’m not sure I’ll survive.
Lisa’s preferred approach to life has always been wild optimism with a back-up plan of burying her head in the sand. When she finds herself without husband, home or income, it quickly becomes clear her trusted strategies won’t work.
With survival a pressing concern, wouldn’t it make sense to forget her wild dream – to renovate a hotel – and focus on the immediate need to renovate her life?
