Burnt

I just love this new cover. If it seems a little familiar, that's because it is! I originally self published this title, when it wasn't quite what my publisher was looking for at the time. Unfortunately, self publishing through Amazon meant that it was only available in print to purchase, online which was both expensive and extremely slow! Then the lovely people at Harlequin Australia picked it up and now, thanks to them, it's available in all Australian book stores as well as Big W, Kmart and Target's. 

When fiction meets real life

Having a book set in a real town is a really cool experience. Admittedly, the majority of the fictional places and towns in my previous books are all based on places I'm familiar with, but this time the real places and landmarks are named. For locals it's a really unique experience to read of real life places we drive past every day. For non-locals, I decided to put together a few places which feature in the book. While its always better to use your own imagination, for curiosities sake, I thought you might enjoy to see a few of the real places. Ducks crossing!!!! The duck pond Duck pond The Macksville Beach Macksville Hospital My Pop and his brothers built and owned this car dealership once upon a time. Lane Bros. Some of the bush land featured in the end of the book Beautiful creeks. bush land some of the old buildings in Bowraville main street Bowraville main street Bowraville main street The Bowraville Hotel River in Macksville The beautiful town of Macksville, right on the river bank

Morgan's Law

I can't believe it's a new year and almost 10 months since North Star was released!
How slack am I only starting a Goodreads page now????
I will endeavour to make up for my slackness from here on in!
However, in May this year, I will be releasing a new book, titled, Morgan's Law.
In the lead up to May, I thought I might introduce you to the characters, so you get to know them before you read their story.
I look forward to hearing from you, and if you have any questions feel free to post them up here and I'll be happy to answer them for you!North StarKarly Lane
