What being an Aussie means to me. Blog Hop and Giveaway
Iâm so grateful my parents took that horrific 8 week boat trip out from England to immigrate to
Australia when I was just 4 years old. Because although Iâve travelled extensively - some 36 countries and counting, I know I live in the best place in the world. When I dream up my stories Australia always has a special place in my novels.
My latest book - Lost in Kakadu - is romantic suspense set in Australiaâs Kakadu National Park. Kakadu is some 20,000 square kilometres of rugged Australian bush and itâs as beautiful as it is brutal. The scenery changes from lush overgrown rainforest, to open savannah, to crocodile infested swamps. The sunsets are the work of our greatest artist and the thunderstorms can rattle your bones. I did many crazy things while researching this book. I hiked for days in the sweltering
Australian bush, ate witchetty grubs that I dug from my garden, made slingshots with my braâs, sat in the pouring rain and many other things that had my family assessing my sanity.
Lost in Kakadu is a survival story that will also challenge your expectations of what a romance should be. Iâm proud to call Australia home. And almost everywhere Iâve travelled Iâve heard our great Australian mantra: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi Oi Oi.
Lost In Kakadu.
Crashing into an ancient Australian wilderness is pretentious socialite Abigail Mulhollandâs worst nightmare. She survives the accident with two complete strangers, however things go from bad to downright hellish when rescuers never come. As she battles to live in an environment thatâs as brutal as it is beautiful, Abigail finds herself also fighting her unlikely attraction to Mackenzie--a much younger man. A man sheâs willing to change for.
Mackenzie Steel is devastated by his partnerâs death in the crash, the only person with whom he shared his painful past. Now, as he confronts his own demons, he finds he has a new battle on his hands: his growing feelings for Abigail, a woman who's as frustratingly naïve as she is funny.
Fate brought them together, but theyâll need more than luck to escape Kakadu alive. Could the letters of a dead man hold the key to their survival?
