    Welcome!
    I consider myself very lucky to be able to write and bring LGBTQ romance stories to life. I am a bi woman of a certain age who has found herself able to do something she has dreamed about all her life and I have my readers to thank. For that, I am very grateful.

    I've traveled extensively and  lived in the US, Canada, France, Australia and South Korea. In a past life I  have been an  Intensive Care Nurse, Counselor, and a Nursing Lecturer. 
     
    I'm a cat aficionado especially of Maine Coons, and an avid dog lover (but don’t tell the cat). I love to cook, pretty damn good, love to sing, pretty damn average, and as for loving full-time writing, absolutely… most days at least, depending on the word count, the deadline and how obliging my characters are, and how much coffee I've had. 

    I like to write complex character driven romances with a heavy dose of realism and a dollop of angst —some  more than others. 
     
    Welcome to my world.

WHAT'S NEW?
Flat Whites & Chocolate Fish
Southern Lights #3
Flat Whites and Chocolate Fish is about the cost of secrets, and two grumpy men finding the courage to take a chance on each other. To risk losing everything in order to call a place and a person home.

ADRIAN POWELL has a secret, a secret he’s guarded for 17 years. But it’s come at a cost—few friends, fewer lovers and a lifetime of loneliness. If he’s a bit grumpy and a tad pessimistic, who can blame him? So, exactly how he’s ended up with a bunch of nosy friends, a beautiful lakeside cottage and a successful business, is beyond him.
 
It’s a life he never imagined, and one that includes a problematic new neighbour, NIALL CARMICHAEL–an irritating, equally grumpy, sexy as hell silver fox, who kisses like a dream, shakes every one of Adrian’s walls, and who might just prove Adrian’s undoing.
 
But secrets have a way of catching up with you. And when Adrian’s past comes knocking, it might just threaten everything he’s built.
