I have been writing since I was a very young girl, lying on the floor with my pencil and yellow paper. But it wasn't until a little over a year ago, after reading some very poorly written werewolf romances that I decided that I could do better. And here we are.

My latest book is Dominion, a mafia romance set in Washington DC. Mallory Sterling is a Senator's daughter who happens to spot Nicolò Basile at a country club. She finds out that he owns Dominion, a popular nightclub that is open for lunch. And he's there every Tuesday. She convinces her best friend they must go to Dominion for lunch every Tuesday, and begins flirting with Nick. They fall in love, but no one approves. Not the Senator, not her brother, and worse, not even Nick. The rest of the story revolves around how they separate then come back together and finally have their happily ever after. If you're tired of mafia romances that have BDSM, spanking or page after page of sex, Dominion is the book for you.

My life suffered steep ups and downs, twists and turns. These experiences forced me to introspect. The conclusion was eye-opening. Self-respect stands above goody-goody behavior. Setting boundaries and the ability to say a polite but firm "no" are very important for living a peaceful life.

I’d wanted to write a novel since I was in my twenties, but for most of my life I never really believed I could do it. There was always work, family and everything else that gets in the way, and writing a book remained one of those things I thought I might do ‘one day’. When I reached my sixties, I realised that if I was ever going to do it, ‘one day’ had probably arrived. The real inspiration for *The Long Grass* came from two places. The first was a childhood friend of mine who had passed away a few years earlier. He’d had an incredibly difficult life and I wanted, in some small way, to pay tribute to him. He became part of the inspiration for one of the novel’s most important characters. The other inspiration was Far North Queensland. I spent time in Weipa in the mid-1980s, when the novel is set, and it was an extraordinary place. It was remote, isolated and sometimes pretty wild, and I witnessed some things up there that stayed with me for the next forty years. Eventually those two things came together. I began imagining a murder mystery in which the victims weren’t necessarily innocent, and the killer wasn’t simply a monster. I wanted to explore what might drive someone to kill, and whether understanding why they did it could change the way we felt about them. Once I had that idea, I finally had the story I’d been waiting all those years to write.

The Long Grass is a crime novel set in Far North Queensland in 1985, and the story is told in three parts. It begins in the remote mining town of Weipa, where three men sleeping rough in the long grass near a local beach are murdered in three very different ways. A team of detectives is flown up from Brisbane to investigate and they quickly discover that Weipa is a very different world from the city they have left behind. The investigation takes them from Weipa to Cairns and eventually back to Brisbane. Along the way we get to know the detectives themselves, particularly Detective Sergeant Annette Mollison, who became a much more important character as I was writing her than I originally intended. I became very fond of Annette, and judging by the feedback I've received from readers, quite a few of them did too. She'll return in my next novel. But The Long Grass changes considerably in its second part. Once the detectives have worked out who committed the murders, the perspective shifts and we begin hearing the killer's story in his own voice. We go back through his life, his childhood and the trauma that shaped him, and begin to understand not just how he became a killer, but why he believes he had to do what he did. In many ways, the murder investigation in the first part of the novel is the vehicle that takes us to that story. What begins as a question of who killed these men? gradually becomes a much more difficult question: if we understand why someone became a killer, does that change how we judge them? The final part brings the detective and the killer together again in the Noosa Everglades, where those two sides of the story finally collide.

A deep and unsettling desire to see the world from a more fairer, compassionate and cooperating lens than the current competitive, exploitative and self-boasting lens that seems drive a lot of public policy, social welfare and personal philosophy schools.

My latest book, titled "Silver Lining of the Ninth Cloud" is the story of an ambitious and brilliant software engineer, Praneeta Upadhyay, whose life is upended after she lands her dream job and the inciting series of incidents stems from a toxic work culture at her new workplace which quite sooner, snowballs into an existential crisis for her. The rest of it is the story of how she chooses to confront and deal with the crisis and how does she emerge out of it, if at all she does.

I have always been drawn to stories that explore the things people hide, the experiences that shape them and the possibility that there may be more to our world than we understand. My background in journalism and public-sector communications has brought me into contact with complex social issues and real human experiences, which often inspire the emotional themes in my fiction. Writing allows me to explore those themes through mystery and the supernatural, creating stories that entertain readers while also leaving them with something deeper to think about.

My latest book, Ghosted, is a supernatural mystery built around a very modern experience: being suddenly abandoned by someone you have met online. It follows a divorced man trying to rebuild his life through dating apps. When women he has been talking to begin disappearing without explanation, he initially assumes he has simply been ghosted. Gradually, however, he discovers that the truth is far stranger than rejection: the women contacting him are dead. What begins as a story about loneliness, dating and emotional disconnection develops into something much more supernatural. As he learns why these women have reached out to him, he is forced to decide whether he will retreat from life again or help them find the answers they were denied. At its heart, Ghosted is about people who disappear, the damage they leave behind and the importance of choosing not to disappear from the lives of those who still need us.

Starting at a young age, as I read books, I always imagined different variations, different stories, different ideas. Reading, in other words, made me envision telling stories myself, which of course led to a desire to write stories of my own. Through the years, that has evolved from simply wanting to tell stories to wanting to explore ideas and eventually into sharing experiences and knowledge. My inspiration to write was never one thing - it has been a constantly growing and expanding process of understanding that I strive to discover words to share with others.

The latest book I am working on continues the saga of the Godslayer Cycle. Unlike the first three books in the series though, the fourth book is an Interlude - a break in the series devoted to devoping the backstory of the series characters. The Godslayer Cycle was always designed to be a trilogy of trilogies, separated by a two interludes. This book, Bracken, is the first of the two planned interludes, calling upon the outcast dwarf to return to his roots, and along the way better understand his true purpose in his own history.

I was fond of reading many good authors. I suppose that after my retirement from service, the hidden inspiration to write welled up.

It is a drama. My first drama! It was inspired by the last chapter of my own first novel, Jestus.

I was in the closet for 35 years and I needed an outlet so I wrote LGBTQ Books.

It's about a detective from the south wales Valleys who travels to west Virginia to investigate a case concerning werewolves and torn apart dead bodies.

I started creative writing in high school, and by college, my English professors were telling me that if I didn't pursue a career in writing, that I'd be missing my true calling. Well, I didn't listen, even though I love writing, and I had to pursue the almighty dollar first.

The Maisie Farnborough series is about a girl who is trafficked from the age of five. What nobody knows, is exactly how smart she is!
