    Welcome!
    I consider myself very lucky to be able to write and bring LGBTQ romance stories to life. It's a community I'm proud to be part of.  I'm a born and bred New Zealander, but like most Kiwis, I've traveled extensively. I've lived in the US, Canada, France, Australia and South Korea, and I've worked as an  Intensive Care Nurse, Counselor, and Nursing Lecturer. I m now delighted to be able to write full time..

    I'm a cat aficionado especially of Maine Coons, and an avid dog lover (but don’t tell the cat). 

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

Penn from Adelaide. That’s all I knew.

We shared a single kiss over a year ago, and I can still remember every toe-curling second of it. He thought I was too young for him. I thought he was running scared. But that kiss was the first time I’d felt alive in a long time, and I’ve been chasing the feeling ever since—doing my research, a lot of research, a lot of men. Something my protective older brother isn’t too happy about.

I’ve been through more than most guys my age, and I still bear the scars. My head’s not always my best friend, but I’m building a life, PTSD be damned. I can’t turn back the clock, and I’m not sure I want to.

Except maybe to that moment when Penn kissed me. I mean, the odds of us ever meeting again were slim to none, right?

Yeah, about that.

But this time I’m ready. I’m a year older, an ocean of therapy wiser, and I know exactly what I want.
