I live on a farm in a pretty rural area and so whenever I walk out my door I see something to write about. It might be our pony tying to open the gate, it might be the rain that we’ve waited all month to fall or it might be the grass fire in our front paddock.

I love giving life to the characters in my head and being able to stay in my pj’s until after the kids have gone to school.

If a story trickles to a stop I know I haven’t planned it sufficiently or have my character’s motivations drilled down. Often I’ll go for a walk, or do something outside, and it’s then when I’m not thinking about the story, that the words will again flow.

In Her Big Sky Cowboy, the inspiration for Finn came from one of my children, who is now a teenager and who’s bug-catching and non-talking days are long behind him. The ranch setting came from a memory of wildflowers while hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park. And the inspiration behind the mischievous puppy Bug is our real life puppy called Milo who’d chew on my chair as I’d write.
