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!

BAD BOYZ - Fire in the Stars (Book 1)

‘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.

BAD BOYZ - Still Waters Run Deep (book 2)

'Nothing could break them. But karma's a bitch...'
Brodie’s living it ‘sweet’ on the straight-and-narrow. Running his own business, cashed up with his ‘six-string’ and a diamond ring, all he needs now is for Hanna to say yes. But a disturbing secret is about to unravel and one fateful night changes everything.
Broken, Brodie returns to Sydney while Hanna, struggling to pick up the pieces, lands a new role in a trendy bistro over her summer break. There, she undergoes a transformative journey where inspiration is found in the least likely of places, with the least likely of friendships. The mice come out to play while the cat is away. But Aido Parker is no mouse; he’s Brodie’s tattooed criminal brother and former leader of the Westside Boyz. It’s all fun and games with their constant banter, stolen glances and ‘harmless’ flirting… until it isn’t.
Shocking revelations lead to dangerous retributions where brotherhood, loyalty and love not only become a test of endurance, but a matter of life and death.

BAD BOYZ - Scribed in the Sand (book 3)

'She wanted revenge. He wanted to win. Neither expected to fall in love...'
Amber Cameron has sworn off guys. After discovering her lying ex lover was never the single man he claimed to be, Amber decides there’s only one way to get even: arrive at the biggest night of his career with a guy so irresistible it will make him squirm.
In comes Aido Parker. Tattooed. Arrogant. Infuriatingly sexy. And definitely NOT boyfriend material. Aido has a reputation for breaking hearts, bending rules and getting whatever—and whoever—he wants. But when Amber challenges him to prove he can be the perfectly devoted boyfriend who is crazily and stupidly in love with her, he can’t resist the game.
One date. One bet. One chance to win her.
What neither of them expects is for the game to change everything. Beneath the flirting, teasing and explosive chemistry, Amber begins to see the man behind Aido’s bad-boy reputation. And Aido discovers that the woman he thought would be nothing more than a means to an end is becoming the one person he can’t stop thinking about.
She challenges him. Teases him. Gets under his skin.
But what Amber wants is the only thing Aido has never been good at giving. His heart. And when pretending starts to feel a lot like something real, they have to decide whether their dangerous little game is worth what it could cost them.
