I am the first time author of YA Paranormal novel Illuminated Darkness. It had been a life long dream of mine to write and publish a novel. A dream that I finally fulfilled this year after writing Illuminated Darkness for close to three years.I grew up in sunny Queensland in Australia and currently reside on the Sunshine Coast with my husband and two sons. I love to read and have always had a passion for writing. I am a former radio announcer and journalist, and currently work in my other passion of teaching children the vital life saving skill of learn to swim. In my spare time I like to drink coffee with my friends and train and compete in triathlons (very badly).I plan to write a sequel to Illuminated Darkness in the near future. At the moment I am currently working on two other manuscripts I hope to have finished by the end of the year.
