I love a great story and writing was always a joy, even at an early age. My greatest influence was Agatha Christie. I wanted to be just like her but when I discovered romances, it was love at first read. In 1990 I founded Romance Writers of New Zealand, basically to get in touch with other people who wanted to write romance. Little did I know then that the original 10 Auckland members would snowball into an international organisation. We now have about 280 members including Australia, the USA and the UK and South Africa. I also love anything with an Egyptian background. THE book of my heart, an ancient Egyptian time travel is now finished and I'll be sending it out very soon.
