💌 Hi Reader ♥ I can’t believe we’re already halfway through March! Time seems to be moving so quickly this year.

💌 Hi Reader ♥ It’s been another busy four weeks! I celebrated my birthday with a trip to Cradle Mountain — one of the most beautiful places here in Australia. And as an extra special treat, it snowed … in the middle of Summer! It was perfectly memorable. Valentine’s Day has just passed as well, and I hope each of you had a wonderful day — whether you were spoilt by someone special or took a little time to spoil yourself. And speaking of treats… To celebrate both occasions (belatedly!), I’m...

💌 Happy New Year Reader ♥ I hope 2026 has started beautifully for you and brings everything you wish for, plus a little more. My own year kicked off in with the release of my very first German translation. I’m incredibly excited… and if I’m being honest, a little terrified too.

It feels equal parts thrilling and nerve-wracking. After...

Hi Reader ♥ I’m sorry there was no newsletter in September, but we spent most of the month travelling. We stayed in Sydney a couple of days and then headed over to New Zealand — yes, my favourite holiday destination. As always, we had an amazing time driving around in our motorhome, soaking in the scenery and enjoying the Kiwi hospitality. And, as usual, I couldn’t help myself … I started yet another story! Here’s a little taste of the beginning:The clouds rolled low over the mountains,...

Hi Reader ♥ It’s been quite an interesting four weeks! I returned from a wonderful visit with my daughters in Victoria, only to be struck down with a flu-like bug that kept me in bed for two weeks. Thankfully, I’m back on my feet now. 💖 Book News This project is especially close to my heart, and I’m thrilled that it’s nearly finished. In the Shadows of a Lie, my second New Zealand story, has been translated into German and will soon be available! Here’s a look at the beautiful cover: 🌊...

Hi Reader ♥ I hope the season—whether you're bundled up for winter or basking in summer sunshine—is treating you kindly. I’ve just returned from a wonderful week in Melbourne visiting my daughters.

Last time, I introduced you to Mallory, the heart of Whispers of Her Memories. If you haven’t picked up the book yet, maybe this will tempt you a little more......
