Romantic Adventure Thrillers
Born in Tanganyika (now Tanzania), my childhood was spent in many exotic locations thanks to my father's job as a surveyor: the rugged bush of Kenya, a farm in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), the remote Luangwa Valley Game Reserve and Lake Kariba (during the building of the world's largest man-made dam).
​
​My teenage years were spent at boarding school in South Africa, first in Lydenburg - a historic town high in the Mpumalanga hills - then in Durban, Natal. It was here that I settled after marriage and here that I volunteered for the SA Civil Defence. It was also in Durban that my husband and I built a 40-foot ocean-going yacht.
​
Having immigrated to Sydney, with my husband and sons, I now live on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I have toured Australia extensively from the sunlit coast to the red sands of the outback and into the mountains with their welcoming towns. I have written three novels set in this country and one in Africa.
​
​My love of storytelling started at the age of eight whilst living in a remote part of Zimbabwe on the Zambezi River. Escaping my tutor, I'd go to my favourite rock pool, filled with tiny green turtles, and spend the day daydreaming adventure stories. Little appreciating, at the time, my own life was full of adventures.
​
Nisamehe ("Forgive Me" in Kiswahili) is the first of my novels to be published. They are all romantic action/adventure thrillers. Nisamehe is the only book, so far, set in Africa.
