Blog postSince my last post, I’ve travelled to San Francisco, pitched my first murder mystery, ‘Evil on the High Seas’ at a writers conference in New York and enjoyed the lavishness of LA before returning home to Australia. While I was in New York, I did lots of research for my third book in my Diana Daniels Mysteries, ‘Murder in Manhattan’. My second in the series is nearly finished and though I haven’t found a publication home yet for ‘Evil on the High Seas’, I’m positive it’s not too far away.

Blog postEarlier this year, I was nominated for the 2019 SBAA International Women’s Day leadership awards in the Entertainment, Creative Arts and Media Industry. To say I was surprised and thrilled would be an understatement. Of course I accepted the nomination, and underwent a rigorous evaluation process with over a dozen other nominees. One of the

Blog postI've always followed my creative inspiration. Whether as a dancer, choreographer, director, speaker and now as a writer, I listen to the still, small voice within. And it's telling me it's time for a change. So, I'm changing genres and writing cozy murder mysteries instead of romance. My first series, the Diana Daniels Murder Mysteries

Blog postI’m a naturally talkative, gregarious person who thrives in the company of others. Having spent the first three decades of my life on the stage and screen, I admit I still miss the buzz of performing and the joy of directing. Since writing is a solitary profession, I’ve had to adapt to spending hours alone at the keyboard. However, magic can still happen, even alone.
Just like directing a big show or performing on stage, when I’m developing and writing a story, I have ultimate creat -
Blog postAs someone who thrives on a challenge, I ventured into self-publishing my romantic suspense, Retribution. The story of Jessie, Brad and his dog, Whiskey has been a winner with readers. It’s received 5star reviews from Amazon Top 500 Reviewers and achieves an average rating consistently above 4 stars on Amazon
But to be honest, the amount of time I’ve spent on learning the SP game, including ISBNs, formatting, cover design, Kindle Direct Publishing, testing keywords, AMS ma -
Blog postAfter a wonderful book launch for Retribution, I’ve had my head-down on the marketing, preparing for the launch of my next book and writing the first of my Diana Daniels mysteries. Go, go, go! I keep going because there is an equation to living a successful, happy and fulfilling life. And in its simplest terms it is this… The energy you expend = the energy you get back. The more you give, the more you receive. In my own life, I’ve discovered this to be true. Wherever I place my energy that is

Blog postI love to party! And throwing a launch party for my new releases is always fun. There’s usually lots of friends and readers sipping champagne and talking all things bookish.
When I sign the books, I love chatting to each person and getting photos taken. It’s a precious time for me to share with those who support and enjoy my stories. It’s also a time for me to congratulate myself on all the hard work and commitment it took to get to another book launch.
For Retribution, it wil -
Blog postOver the past few months, I’ve ventured along the self-publishing pathway with my next book, Retribution. I vowed not to be beaten by the myriad of things I had to learn. At the end of long, gruelling days, I didn’t have a head ache, but I could feel my brain expanding in my skull. I’d developed better thinking muscles, because I’d learned so many new things in a condensed time frame. It felt good to be challenging myself.

Blog postLike many writers, when I first started out, my dream was to be offered a contract by a publisher. I was one of the lucky ones. I was offered a contract by Luminosity Publishing for my first three erotic romances, the Dance of Love series. It was a great confidence-booster and allowed me to spend most of my time writing.
When my fourth book, a romantic suspense, Retribution was completed, edited and submitted to publishers, rejections flowed fast. In some ways, I wasn’t surprised. B -
Blog postI’m an impassioned person and inspired writer. The story ideas which take up residence in my mind and hunker down in my body come to me basically complete. I do not think about what I’m going to write next. The next story idea presents itself to me as a gift. My job it to say thanks and accept it. Whether the story fits a trope, or is what the market is looking for, or is left-of-field, I never consider. Like being given a present, I don’t judge the value of the gift. I just accept it with gr
