The idea for the Verindon Trilogy came to me this way:
My husband thinks cheesy pick-up lines are funny, not that he ever uses them on anybody. (Lucky for him!) One day when we were driving to the Sunshine Coast for a holiday, he was trying to make me laugh by telling me his favourites. I was trying to think of some too, but I’m not good at that kind of thing. The only one I could think of was the line where the guy says to the girl, ‘you are the only reason I was put on this planet’. As I thought about that, I started to think about what it might mean if someone said that to a girl and meant it literally. He really was only on that planet because of her. Before I knew what was happening, the story was swirling around in my head and I spent most of our holiday thinking about it.

Updated Verindon ebooks available now!

The ebook versions of all three books in the Verindon trilogy have been updated and given new covers and are now available for sale!

It was a lot of fun and sometimes a bit difficult to go through all three books, especially since The Heir (Verindon #1) was published ten years ago. I have learnt a lot as an author in the past ten years and I was fortunate to get the opportunity to spruce it up

An incredibly enjoyable story about a world similar to ours, but where some people have superpowers, rather like the mutants in X-Men. I loved the way it began, introducing the world through the trauma of a tragedy told through the eyes of a child, t ...more

I enjoyed Under the Never Sky. The world building was well done and fascinating, although it took a bit to get the lingo, especially in relation to Perry's talent. But I thought it was explained well. It was well paced and the story line was good. Ar ...more
