When fate and magic collide, all will witness the rise of a Luna like no other.
Can you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
I've always had a passion for writing from a young age, fueled by an active imagination and a love for fantasy daydreams, which were further supported by my reading habits. Unfortunately, as I grew older and entered the workforce, both reading and daydreaming became distant hobbies. That changed dramatically after a significant life event. While serving in the Australian military, I sustained an injury that led to my medical separation from the service—a tumultuous period, as I had hoped to remain in the defense force. During this challenging time, I turned to reading for comfort, which rekindled my desire to write. Over the course of a few years, I completed the first draft of my trilogy, with the first book titled Blindsided.
What is something unique/quirky about you?
I consume knowledge. I absolutely love knowing as much as I can about many broad ranging topics. I like to research. Actually, I love to research. All kinds of topics, as soon as something piques my interest, I must know about it. Quickly followed by my poor husband being inundated with mass information about the topic of the day/week. Because if I know it, he must also know it 😂
Where were you born/grew up at?
I grew up in a small town called Maclean in New South Wales, Australia. It was a very quiet sleepy town and the most important thing in life was soccer and cricket.
If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day?
Without a doubt with my children and husband, making sure they have enjoyable memories to the very end. Then, I would 100% be bargaining with the reaper!!
What do you do to unwind and relax?
I love to sit, with my Belgium Shepherd, a cup of tea and an excellent book in a sunny part of the house.
How to find time to write as a parent?
It’s extremely tricky, as I am sure any author with children would attest to. I honestly just go for it when the inspiration hits. I am lucky with older children that they understand if the pen is furiously scribbling on the paper, it’s probably best to ask dad for that favour at the present moment as Mum is locked in on her craft. I am also thankful to have two exceptionally artistic children as well, so when I am writing, they will be with me also writing, or possibly painting or doing some other craft.
Describe yourself in 5 words or less!
😂 Eclectic.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
Some days I still don’t, haha. I have a completed trilogy that is just going through all the self-publishing processes and I think when I look at how far it has come and the fact people have enjoyed reading the first book, that’s when I considered myself a writer for the first time, when the words I produced gave other people emotions, of all kinds, but they made people feel something.
Do you have a favorite movie?
Yes, I have always loved and will always love The Princess Bride. From the very first time I watched it; it has become a staple comfort movie and I adore the premise and it might also give reasoning behind some of my writing with my love of romance and plot twists!
As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
I am all about the Fennec Fox. 100% spirit animal. They can be so chaotic, but with those adorable little faces and big personalities and even bigger ears, there can be no other choice!
