Writing is a very solitary occupation, and at times, can be a lonely one. One of the best things about writing romance, for me, has been the opportunity to meet some amazing, and very talented women who share the same career. Friendships are precious all by themselves, but the creative energy that can be unleashed by a bunch of like-minded authors getting together is something amazing!
The idea of collaborating on a special series of books was exciting for all of us and what better setting than the harsh environment of northern Australia to put together strong characters, nail-biting medical drama and passionate encounters?
We each have our own story in the series, but we’re linked by a bigger story that runs through all our books. I loved being able to follow up on the abandoned baby and find a mother for him and I fell in love with my hero, Mike, instantly. It takes my heroine, Emily, a little longer to realize that it’s possible for fantasy to become a reality.
CROCODILE CREEK 24-HOUR RESCUE series is also now a reality!
Happy reading,

Her colleagues would also not have been surprised to learn that she had sent the attending nurse off to make herself a cup of hot chocolate and a slice of toast while she herself watched over the baby for a few minutes.
Dr Morgan had, after all, been a key player in the drama that had gripped this hospital over the last three days. A drama that was attracting the attention of the whole community of the large coastal town in north Queensland, no less. A newborn baby had been left for dead in the Outback and, despite the best efforts of police and bush rangers,
