More About the Author
I was born on the 20th of May, 1959 in Windsor, New South Wales, Australia, and was the youngest of four children. I grew up in a rural area on one farm or another, and without close neighbours I passed much of my time reading. I loved to imagine myself in the lives of the characters I read about, even if it was only for a few days or hours.
At school, the library was my favourite place to hang out. In high school, my favourite subjects were English and History. By the time I decided to try to make writing a career I was in my thirties. I had three children who were all at school and I was teaching office studies and computers at an adult technical college. By now I was reading a lot of romance and fantasy novels and combined with my love of history, it seemed a natural progression to write novels with a strong historical element. My first published book, Old Magic, was the result. I wrote for young adults because my daughters, who were in their early teens at the time, asked me to write something for them. I have never regretted that decision.
I presently have four published novels, Old Magic, and the Guardians of Time Trilogy - The Named, The Dark and The Key. Because of my illness in 2004, I have not had another published novel since then. But the wait is almost over! The first three books of my new series are signed up with Bloomsbury Publishing and the first novel will be released in 2012 in Australia, the UK and the USA. The titles will be released soon.

Where I was unsure if I was going to like this series - it proved me wrong. It has it's slow parts - but overall it is a really good series in comparing it to others that are being released right now.

I just love the characters of Arkarian and Isabel. This book is from their point of view and we get to see more about how they feel for each other! If you like the 1st book in the series then you will love this one. I can not wait to read the third installment and would read anything this author wrote!!
