Growing up in Toowoomba, I was always excited by a trip to the library and the promise of returning home with a collection of books to read. Now, Brisbane-based, grown up and with Postgraduate qualifications in Communications and a major in Literature, I still get excited by the written word ... and a trip to the library.

I like to challenge myself to write a variety of genres. I have tried my hand at crime thrillers (Mastermind, Death by Sugar, Three Parts Truth), non-fiction (No Picnic at Hanging Rock - yet to be released) and historical drama/romance (Autumn Manor), but my writing passion remains with crime thrillers.

Aside from writing, I am a journalist with a background working on community newspapers, producing radio for the Fairfax network, television for the Seven Network, and marketing for News Ltd. I have also lectured in marketing.
