Evocative Women's Fiction...
Where the past meets the present
WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!
I write dual timeline women's fiction—the kind of books for people who love forgotten houses, secrets kept too well and for too long, and romance—in all its shapes and forms.

I live near the settings of my books—Wellington, the Wairarapa, Napier—and have plenty of photos and historical tidbits to share on my blog. Also check out my reviews of my favourite kind of books—historic and contemporary narratives blended together to form wonderful stories which stay with you long after the last page has been turned.
