About me
I’ve spent most of my life with ink on my fingers and a dangerously high pile of books and newspapers by my side.
I’ve worked as a newspaper reporter on two continents and always dreamt of becoming a novelist and screenwriter.
When I found myself crouched under her dining table, typing away on a novel between two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, I realised I was hooked for life.
The shaken but stirring novel made it to the longlist of the Mslexia competition, and my next book and first mystery, The Case Of The Missing Bride, was a finalist in the Malice Domestic competition in a year without a winner.
Since then I’ve penned several more cozy mysteries, including the Jack and Frances series set in the 1930s and the Genie and Adriana Darling series, starring a contemporary heroine and the vivacious flapper ghost of her great-great-aunt.
I’m currently living in Italy with my human and my four-legged family.
Out on December 25!
Ghost Stirs The Pot
A ghost with an unbeatable nose.
A killer recipe.
Genie Darling’s new life is reaching boiling point.
Genie has her hands full. First, there’s her new gelato-making business. Sure, she has a tireless helper in her great-great-aunt Adriana, and the ghostly flapper is also responsible for their recipes.
Second, there’s her relationship with Matt. So far it’s great, but then he doesn’t know about Adriana’s presence.
To make matters worse, Genie stumbles over the dead body of her mentor Pierre. Was the much-loved owner of Cobblewood Cove’s oldest diner murdered for money or was the culprit after Pierre’s closely guarded family recipes? And why is Genie under suspicion?
With new restaurants in town and a gastronomical fair ahead, Genie and Adriana have to concoct something special to make sure the killer’s goose is cooked …
