About Me

Hi! Welcome to my page.

I'm a Gen-X mother of three living in Tasmania. I began my writing journey at the age of seventeen, penning my first novel by hand. I have a deep love for crafting stories exploring contemporary romance with a particular focus on coming-of-age / new adult themes.​ When I am not reading Tarot and Oracle cards via my business "Katanna Star” I can usually be found with my nose in a book, spending time with my family and working on mystical, creative pursuits.

BAD BOYZ - Fire in the Stars is my debut novel. I'll be turning 48 this year, it's never too late to follow your dreams! Thanks for  your support and for sharing this exciting journey with me!

My debut novel coming to Amazon & KU 3rd September 2025...

‘Crazy love makes people do crazy things…’

 

Romeo and Juliet meets Romper Stomper in this compelling love story about the ‘perfect’ prefect who falls for a rebellious bad boy in Tasmania’s underworld.

 

A dux with her grades but naïve in love, Hanna’s ‘fairytale’ hopes seem desolate when she winds up at a wild party with her bestie—and the notorious Westside Boyz.

 

There, she ‘bumps’ into Brodie, an irresistible yet troubled young man determined to escape his past. Hanna and Brodie find common ground in a captivating journey of self-discovery, falling crazy in love as they defy Hanna’s parents and pursue their romance in secret. But Brodie carries secrets of his own, and tensions rise as Hanna’s spiteful peers jeopardise her school performance—and apparently her ‘dignity.

 

’When a drug bust results in Brodie owing a crippling debt, Hanna is targeted and the two embark down a dangerous road. Risking it all for love proves perilous. With challenges mounting and time running out, Hanna and Brodie must decide if their love can survive.
