B.G. Nettelton writes Africa-set romantic suspense and Women’s Fiction.

Under her Beverley Oakley name, she's written more than 30 Regency romps, and Victorian and Georgian-set romances laced with mystery and intrigue.

Born in the African mountain kingdom of Lesotho, Beverley married the handsome Norwegian bush pilot she met in Botswana’s beautiful Okavango Delta while managing a safari lodge.

She began her writing career as a journalist in Australia, but it was during long aerial survey contracts around the world—typically as the sole woman among the crew—that she launched her romance novels, finding in them an escape from the isolation.

Beverley also loves making historical costumes, knitting, and travelling.

She lives just north of Melbourne
