![]() Writing is a skill that can be learned and the best way to learn it is to read and to write. ![]() An idea will pop into my head, sometimes it will be just a simple phrase or a what if question and I'm away. I sat down one day and began writing and everything clicked into place - I had finally found ‘my brilliant career’! I used to write from instinct rather than a specific plan, but now, so many books later I find a loose plan doesn't go astray. I went back to University and up-graded my teaching diploma to a degree and then went on to do a Masters but still I felt as if something was missing. After the birth of our second son we came back to Australia to settle in Tasmania. I read my first Mills & Boon novel when I was 17 and that encouraged me to continue reading romance novels the lure of the tall dark handsome hero, who in reality I fell in love with and knew I was going to marry on our second date! After marrying a year later, we moved to Scotland with our six week old baby so my husband could work and study for his MD in surgery. It’s a bit ironic that I married a surgeon. As I was surrounded by animals, I decided at an early age to become a nurse, however I couldn’t stand the sight of blood and so opted for a career in teaching. ![]() ![]() I grew up on a small farm on the outskirts of Sydney and as a keen horse rider, often competed in local gymkhanas and even broke in a few horses from time to time.
