What was your first job? Did you like or
dislike it? Why? My first job was as a
Saturday girl in a Clark’s shoe shop in our local shopping precinct. I enjoyed
the camaraderie with the women who worked there – all who were much older than
I was. I had a horrible striped polyester shirt I had to wear, I can still
picture it! I did enjoy the job as it taught me a great deal about customer
service and communication. We had a lot of elderly clients who came in for the
orthopaedic sandals, usually after they’d been trudging around the shops for
hours so I’ve measured more than my fair share of hot, smelly feet!
2.)
Do you have a pet peeve? If so what is it? Rudeness. I was raised to hold doors, to
speak politely to people who are providing me with a service and to let people
out in queues of traffic. We seem to have bypassed a lot of the basic manners
along the way and that makes me sad.
3.)
Would you describe your style as shabby chic,
timeless elegance, eclectic, country or ____? Scruffy writer! When I’m working it’s normally scrapped-back hair and
comfy pyjamas or leggings. I have to dress up for official functions as my
husband is in the military, but my rules are never black or navy blue. If I
have to wear a beautiful dress then I want to stand out in the crowd so I love
bright colours and patterns. I’m definitely not a wallflower.
4.)
Tell me about your book Christmas at Butterfly Cove and where you got your inspiration for
it? It’s the final book in a trilogy
about three sisters who are all going through a major upheaval/transition in
their lives. It started out as a single book, but then Mia decided to tell me
all about her sisters and the series developed from there. I always had the key
plot issue for Nee and Luke in my mind right from writing the first book so
they’re very special to me. It’s about growing up, self-discovery and second
chances.
5.)
Who is your role model? Why? I don’t really have a role model, I prefer
to have a wide group of friends in my various peer groups – military spouses,
romance writers etc. and to attain to the best I see in them.
6.)
How much of your book is realistic? I think it’s pretty realistic in the way it
deals with the ups and downs of life. I can only hope there is really somewhere
as beautiful as Butterfly Cove out there somewhere.
7.)
What are your ambitions for your writing
career? I have been contracted for
another three-book series for 2018 and I would like to build and expand on the
phenomenal success that Butterfly Cove has been. It’s exceeded all my
expectations and given me a taste for success.
8.)
Share one fact about yourself that would
surprise people. I have a writing
alter-ego who writes very sexy paranormal romance.
Christmas at Butterfly Cove
All she wants for Christmas…
When talented artist Nee Sutherland returns to Butterfly Cove for her
sister’s wedding, it’s only a matter of time before she has to face her own
bridegroom – Luke Spenser – the man she impulsively married, then left in the
middle of the night.
Nee hasn’t picked up her paintbrushes in months, a part of her is
broken. She knows Luke might never forgive her, leaving him was the biggest
mistake of her life – but could coming home for Christmas be the best decision
she’s ever made?
Maybe all she needs is a little Christmas miracle…
A delightfully feel-good festive romance, perfect for fans of Trisha
Ashley, Rachael Lucas and Hilary Boyd.
