The idea for the Verindon Trilogy came to me this way:
My husband thinks cheesy pick-up lines are funny, not that he ever uses them on anybody. (Lucky for him!) One day when we were driving to the Sunshine Coast for a holiday, he was trying to make me laugh by telling me his favourites. I was trying to think of some too, but I’m not good at that kind of thing. The only one I could think of was the line where the guy says to the girl, ‘you are the only reason I was put on this planet’. As I thought about that, I started to think about what it might mean if someone said that to a girl and meant it literally. He really was only on that planet because of her. Before I knew what was happening, the story was swirling around in my head and I spent most of our holiday thinking about it.

So many things!

This year is turning into an eventful one, and I have been doing loads of writing.

My latest story, The Casting Dilemma, is due out in May, which is just a few weeks away! It’s my first contemporary story in a decade, so that’s exciting. It’s also exciting to be part of the Rhiza Shorts series You can read more about the Rhiza Shorts series here.
