Person
I write using the name of my pup and my second name. In real life I am a wife, mother and grandmother who lives in Australia.
I write because I love historical novels. My family history has provided interesting storylines that I have written as fiction; to bring the characters alive.
My interests are kayaking, walking, reading and writing many of these interests I share with my husband.
