Formerly a journalist, I became a public relations consultant in 2004 and a published author in 2022. My first novel, The Understudy, was published by Simon & Schuster Australia in 2022. My second novel, The Lost Letters of Rose Carey, was also published by Simon & Schuster Australia, in 2024.
Both these novels were inspired by my experiences on stage as a child extra in the newly-opened Sydney Opera House and my love of Australian history.
I am currently working on my third novel, another Australian historical mystery set in the fabulous 1960s.
I currently live in the beautiful city of Sydney with my husband, Bruce and our kelpie cross dog, Riley, within walking distance of the Sydney Opera House. We enjoy the theatre, movies, e-biking, and road-tripping. We also love visiting libraries, book stores and book clubs around Australia.
