Hi there and I am so happy to be here. Welcome to my new web page. It’s wonderful to have a fresh face on my site for a fresh year.Please bear with me while my poor webmistress educates me on Blogging and uploading pictures. I’m so looking forward to this.

It’s great to be back with readers and writers of medical romance and finally I have a new book on the shelves - THEIR SPECIAL CARE BABY. Keep an eye out for it on your department store shelf or order it online at eHarlequin.com.au. It’s even available in Waldenbooks in North America, which is a first as usually my medical Romances are only available Direct subscription or online at eharlequin or amazon.com in the US.

The last eighteen months have been a time of great change for me with my mum passing away from breast cancer and the end of the special time we had together. I consider myself so fortunate to have been able to share her last months thanks to my wonderful husband taking on the rest of the family. He has certainly inspired me to adore my heroes in my books even more.

With my youngest son, Rory, away at boarding school suddenly I have an empty nest and time on my hands to not only write but catch up and finally read all those fabulous books I have on my To Be Read pile. (See Rory’s picture when he played cricket for PSSA NSW.)

On my Valentine’s page you’ll see my Granddaughter Simone’s picture. She’s the inspiration for my latest book out.  THEIR SPECIAL CARE BABY (out now)

Speaking of books, I have to mention SIZZLE, SEDUCE AND SIMMER. An anthology of Australian/New Zealand authors filled with short stories and recipes. I’m no cook but Rory adores the Aggie’s Jelly recipe. I LOVE this book. If you get a chance, click on the link or pick one up from the Mira shelf in your department store, and have a wonderful time reading snippets from the friendship quilt of marvelously diverse romance authors from downunder.

As 2008 thunders along I already know it is going to be a big year. Romance Writers of America Conference in San Francisco in July and I’m hoping to meet as many readers and writers of romance as possible. I had such a wonderful time in New York, is it five years ago, that I know San Francisco is going to be amazing. Then Romance Writers of Australia Conference in Melbourne in August, a fabulous conference every year and I haven’t missed one yet.

So look out for my new books that are finally back on the shelves. MY SPECIAL CARE BABY out now. THE MIDWIFE’S BABY due out in June 08 and my new trilogy set in the Lyrebird Lake Midwifery Centre with Montana, Misty and Mia with THE MIDWIFE’S LITTLE MIRACLE, the first book available late 2008.

Warmest regards and happy reading
2008 is going to be amazing.

I’m really excited about THEIR SPECIAL CARE BABY which came out in January UK and February in North America and Australia, as part of the Top Notch Docs series. Dedicated to my mum, it’s wonderful to have a book published as part of the Mills and Boons Centenary Celebrations.

This story is also special to me because you may remember my own granddaughter, Simone, now a bouncing two year-old, was born thirteen weeks premature. This is the book I needed to write after her wonderful journey.

Stewart is the caring paediatrician and Amanda is the woman who comes through everything stronger and more determined to do the right thing by her baby. Their story was a joy to write and I hope you love it as much as I do.
