Please tell the readers a little about yourself:
I
am a 36-year-old stay home Aussie mum. I have one son who is 3. When I’m not
writing I work part-time as a Software Support Consultant and I also do some
book cover design work.
How about your latest release?
My
latest release is a short story called ‘Life in Suitcases’ and it is include as
part of Ruby Lioness Press’s Love Again Anthology
What was your primary inspiration for this book?
It
was just an idea my mind came up it with. What would the story be like if two
characters had to find their way back one another? Within a day or two I had
7000 plus words written.
Do you have any muses?
Not
really for the most part all of my story ideas just come to me at random
completely inopportune times. But if am going to be inspired by something it is
usually a picture and occasionally a song.
Do you control your characters or do they flog you
into shape?
I
think they flog me into shape my stories usually play like a movie in my mind
and I just write what is happening.
When you write, is there a special routine you
follow?
No
particular routine but I write best when I am alone and it is completely quiet.
This usually only occurs after midnight.
If you could be one animal, person, or at a place
for a day what/who/where would it be?
I
would love to be an elephant just loping around some wide open plain.
Five random facts about you:
I
live in Perth Western Australia
My
grammar and punctuation usually suck unless I am writing smut then it seems to
be perfect for some reason.
I
have visited more than half of the US states.
If
I could live anywhere in the world I would live in Hawaii.
I
want to visit all Disneyland’s in the world, before I die. So far I have been
to all the LA parks, all the Florida parks and the Hong Kong park.
Are you working on any new releases later this year?
Yes
I have a novel coming out in the second half of 2012 called Matronly Duties. It
is a dystopian romance set one hundred years in the future.
Anything else you’d like to say?
Just
that I hope people enjoy my writing and I would love them to come say hi on
twitter.

Flash Fiction:
As
I turn the news off, I look out the window worried about the locust plague that
is supposedly heading our way.
The
last two years crops have been measly at best, due to the drought, and now we
have these flying pests to deal with.
Sitting
on the front porch, gun on my lap, I wait. I know it isn’t going to actually help
me fight of this latest threat to my lively hood. It is a comfort though and
worse comes to worst I could always use it on myself.
It
is a morbid thought I know, but if I lose this year’s crop, my life will be
over anyway.
