The idea for the Verindon Trilogy came to me this way:
My husband thinks cheesy pick-up lines are funny, not that he ever uses them on anybody. (Lucky for him!) One day when we were driving to the Sunshine Coast for a holiday, he was trying to make me laugh by telling me his favourites. I was trying to think of some too, but I’m not good at that kind of thing. The only one I could think of was the line where the guy says to the girl, ‘you are the only reason I was put on this planet’. As I thought about that, I started to think about what it might mean if someone said that to a girl and meant it literally. He really was only on that planet because of her. Before I knew what was happening, the story was swirling around in my head and I spent most of our holiday thinking about it.

Gold Coast Supanova is nearly here!

My first event of 2025 will be Gold Coast Supanova and it’s now under a month away. It’s on the weekend of 13-14th April, to be exact. :-)

Events like Supanova are always a lot of fun. I get to dress as one of my characters, sit at a table with two good friends who are also authors, and meet and greet a lot of amazing people who are usually wearing their own sensational costumes. We’ve been so many

The Greatest Knight by Thomas Asbridge

Fabulous biography about William Marshal, a man who lived from the mid-1100s to the early 1200s, reaching the age of about 70, which was ancient for the time. His life is fascinating and would make an amazing TV series, if anyone out there feels like ...more

What a fascinating world! It's shape-shifting with a sci-fi element. The Veniri themselves and their make-up is definitely something a bit different. I enjoyed going where this story led, particularly the scenes in Nathan's point of view. His double ...more

Okay, so I admit I might be a bit biased here, given E.T. is my favourite movie ever and I doubt it will ever be replaced, but still, there was so much in this book for an E.T. fan to enjoy, even a few things I didn't know.
