Factual, reliable, verifiable-it matters

Emotions motivate people. As a romance writer, I’m tapping into emotions, seeking empathy and engagement from my readers for my characters. Increasingly, in writing about love and equal partnerships, I feel like I’m in a zero sum game where themes of revenge, anger, punishment, hate and anger get more traction than cooperation and encouraging mutual growth.

We’re being bombarded by information from all directions, and if we use social media, at an unprecedented speed. We use information to make some of the biggest decisions in our lives. Who to trust is one of the biggest.

There’s evidence that people are increasingly turning to bots or agents for advice on actions, on finances, and increasingly on who to love or who to hate.

The proliferation of horror stories about trusted entities on the other end of a post urging young people to self-harm and to commit violent acts against vulnerable others in their orbit is horrifying. It seems to happen in the blink of an eye. The algorithms seem to lap up and magnify the angry, the vicious, the vengeful, the misogynistic and hateful.

How to find balance?

I was reminded the other day of a game known pretty universally as telephone whispers. One person whispers a message to another. By the time the message has passed through multiple people, it’s not the same as the first message. This can be entertaining, but also teaches players how easy it is to get a message wrong.

While this is a game, it’s also an area for research used to identify the type of information that is more easily passed from one person to another. Reasons for changes include anxiousness or impatience, erroneous corrections, or the difficult-to-understand mechanism of whispering.

At the end of a game of telephone whispers, the correct message is given to everyone to compare against what they heard. In our digital world there’s the inference that every message is  one hundred percent correct.

Anxiousness or impatience as a reason for mixing up a message tapped into something else I read recently. Hannah Ewens, a freelance editor and writer wrote an item for The Guardian on 27 September 2026 entitled My Instagram reels addiction has ruined my ability to have a conversation. But can I get it back?

After spending  a lot of time on reels, she noticed a new impatience in her conversations with others. That the time spent, particularly on reels, catered to her as an individual

“started competing with real-life interactions. Subconsciously, I had begun to expect conversations to provide speed, relevance and the ability for me to skip through at will.”

Some of her friends and colleagues were having the same feelings. She asked experts for advice. In conversations you have to retain information and wait to reply, whereas the impatience you feel from too much digital short-form content encourages you to switch topics, interrupt, drift off or pick up the pace. Hannah’s conclusion is that

“the best conversations are nothing like content. They aren’t all sparky like electricity but take on the form of water. They allow me and another person to meander, to seep into places we have no business being, to become emotional. We push and pull and create a unique tide between us. There is no “hook”. No frenetic pace. Any clear takeaway is often submerged by more questions. Sometimes it’s boring but often it can be quite beautiful – if you have the patience for it.”

Stories are the same. You need to take time to read, reflect and submerge yourself  for periods of time. We lose a whole lot of magic by going for the digital short form interaction, especially when the short-form is often curated by people who aren’t interested in letting us grow in new and diverse ways, but shift us towards dark and lonely spaces.

My takeaways—talk to people, including strangers, read more, relax in nature, go fishing.

What’s on the horizon for me:

My next release, Tainted, a standalone contemporary romance with suspense elements releases in January 2027.

Poppy Madsen’s not exactly in hiding. Yet. This trip’s a quick in and out of her home town to see where her grandpa’s buried and say her final goodbyes.

Grandpa banished her. Told her never to return, then pointed forensic accountant Poppy in the direction of her parents’ company, pushing her to bring them down. Family honour demands it. Now whispers are swirling about her role in their company, and government agencies are squabbling over jurisdiction for the impending court case.

Mitch Watkins, a small town lawyer and Ivar Madsen’s executor is now living in Ivar’s house. He bore witness to Ivar’s grief at Poppy’s abandonment. He doesn’t trust Poppy. She’s the enemy—right?

Mitch and Poppy circle each other. Both have learned to ration trust, but can’t deny their growing attraction. Daily, they cross boundaries they vowed not to cross, but can’t resist.

Is Poppy tainted by her family’s crimes, or has everyone mistaken her for something she isn’t?

I’ve actually got two works in progress (WIP). I’ve told you about Sophie’s Apology (tentative title) but the other piece is set in Nepal and is called Conquering Nick. It’s a book that’s been in my head a long time. I’d started work on it before the recent devastating glacier collapse and flood in Nepal. I’m continuing because Nepal is an incredibly beautiful country with wonderful people.

I’m appearing at the Australian Romance Readers Association (ARRA)’s annual A Romantic Rendezvous events in March 2027 in Sydney and Canberra. The special guests have been announced. Amy Andrews, multi-published spicy romance author and Ilona Andrews, the husband and wife team writing urban fantasy and paranormal romance.

Betrayal—Choosing Family Book 3 (episode 212)

Diana Kathryn Penn’s Indie Reads Aloud podcast has recordings of me reading the opening 20 mins of my books:

I have a confession to make …

I am advert/promo blind. From the time I was a small child, my gaze would skate across ads, looking for the actual stories. I can hypothesise that we couldn’t afford many luxuries when I was a child. Being sucked in by ads was bound to end in heartache, so I trained my brain not to see. Whatever. In the current world, and as an author, this is a severe handicap.

How ads work is an alien language to me. Again, I can hypothesise that I write great, contemporary romance with relatable characters facing real issues who earn their happily-ever-afters, and that the books should speak for themselves. My males are the ultimate fantasy, sexy and thoughtful, passionate and also having their woman’s back. There’s spice, too much for some, not enough for others but hopefully perfect for the characters I write.

Other writers write terrific, excellent, mind-blowing books too, and if you want to be seen and picked up then you have to be on the socials and you have to be eye-catching.

A long time ago I saw a quote from a book called Toxic Sludge is Good For You: Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry by John Stauber & Sheldon Rampton (1995, most recent edition 2011). A note from their first edition:

“Academicians who study media now estimate that about 40% of all ‘news’ flows virtually unedited from the public relations offices, prompting a prominent PR exec to boast that ‘the best PR ends up looking like news’.

… the fact that the 150,000 PR practitioners in the US outnumber the country’s 130,000 reporters (and with the media downsizing its newsrooms, the gap is widening)”

I found it scary then. It’s on ‘roids now. What’s real? How do you know something is real or good? Your favourite influencer told you so? Their best friend told you so?

The impact of reading Stauber & Rampton’s book on me is that I always verify the source of my information. With the passage of time, the book’s thesis resonates more strongly. In the current world promotion, not substance, is the stuff that counts.

Large publishing companies have branding and marketing departments, whereas small and indie publishers usually lack the expertise and funds to make an impression. Increasingly, large publishers are also outsourcing their marketing to authors, picking up a new author when they have a proven track record of followers.

So, as an author with a small publisher, I either buy in the expertise or master the skills myself. Social media adds the extra complication, or so it seems to me, that I am the product, not my writing but me. Audience fascination with the person behind the story is as voracious as the growth of PR in the past and the persona, not the product, can be as false as the idea that toxic sludge is good for you.

I don’t want to be the product.

Sadly, the entire point of this is that I have to change. I can’t glaze over at adverts or promos. I need to study them, learn from them, apply them to myself and my work and go forth and conquer the world, that is, sell my books. The fantasy of a publicist saying, Jennifer, let me handle all of that for you in return for first edition signed copies of your books is just that, a fantasy.

So, now for the hard grind. If anyone has any ideas—easy, free or cheap preferably, on how to become a bestseller, please drop me a line. Because I’d rather be writing.

What’s on the horizon for me:

My next release, Tainted, a standalone contemporary romance releases in January 2027.

Honour or loyalty—which would you choose?

Forensic accountant Poppy Madsen sacrifices her home and her reputation to her grandfather’s crusade for justice. Lawyer Mitch Watkins believes she’s guilty as hell, but his gut or his gonads keep telling him there’s a bigger secret here.

📌 divided loyalties

📌 heroine in hiding

📌 secret world

📌 forced proximity

📌 making love vs a one-night stand

My current work in progress (WIP) is a companion book to Lela’s Choice, You remember the outline:

Lela Vella’s teenage niece flees to Malta. Terrified by what she might find, Lela chases her, only to be met by her father’s newest hitman, Hamish McGregor, a lawyer intent on reaching her niece first. Despite mutual suspicion, attraction smoulders. In the race to find Lela’s niece first, will they choose compromise or walk away from love?

My WIP is about the niece, Sophie. And Sophie’s had a few ups and downs since we last met the soon-to-be eighteen-year-old runaway. She’s twenty seven now and back to explain why she left Piet and Malta without a word.

Kiss N’ Tell

Spark your dreams, Fan your passion, Ignite your story  was the motto for the Romance Writers of New Zealand 2026 Conference. And it was a fabulous affair.

Unfortunately I missed the Friday workshops, but the reports I heard were glowing. Jennifer Hilt, author and creator of The Trope Thesaurus: An Author Resource on The Emotional Blueprint: How Tropes Create Character, Conflict and Chemistry delivered the keynote. James Blatch, a director of Self Publishing Formula Limited, an online course provider for independent authors and co-host of the weekly SPF podcast spoke about Book Visibility in the Age of AI. Participants were buzzing as the conference proper started on Saturday morning.

T L Swan, a best-selling, award-winning  author of “addictive, heart-pounding romances with witty banter, emotional depth and swoon-worthy heroes” gave Saturday’s keynote. For me her key takeaways were:

  • nail the brief—that’s title, cover, blurb—when a book’s not selling rebrand. T did 9 rebrands on 6 of her books, that’s changing the covers and blurbs until they hit the reader sweet spot
  • don’t sell on tropes, satisfy on emotions
  • you need to know the major conflict and how it ends
  • give ARCs away like water—you want readers
  • chapter analysis—3 things should happen, you should leave 3 clues for later and end on a cliff hanger
  • first chapter and blurb are critical (that’s your selling sample on Amazon)
  • understand how KU and Amazon work and use that to work for you.

Sarah Young, Executive Agent at the Nancy Yost Literary Agency represents authors across romance, women’s fiction, and commercial fiction. Sarah love love loves her job and talked about what an agent can do for indie, trad or hybrid authors, specifically in protecting your contract rights. These days rights can cover print, e-book, audio, film, foreign, translation, performance, serialisation, computer/app games, manga/graphic novels and merchandising and may be sold separately.

Sarah is embedded in the publishing industry and can provide professional and editorial guidance. Sarah emphasised the importance of an author knowing what they want from their career and agent. You interview the agent as much as the agent interviews you. Sarah took pitches at the conference and there were some very happy new authors after their 1:1 meetings with her.

A session on covers appealed, so I attended Holly Dunn’s Covers and Comp Titles: Maximising Market Success. As an illustrator and author Holly has particular insight into what an author needs for their book PLUS she reads the manuscripts she illustrates and usually hand letters her covers. What more could you ask for! She suggests that:

  • your cover sets up a promise that your book delivers on
  • you want to fit in more than stand out, to have LEGS—be legible, eye-catching, genre specific and story relevant. Typology can indicate genre
  • she’s interested in your ideal reader, although readers are on a continuum eg. protagonist age range, reality of world, no magic to magic, time period, tone, place of romance in the story, level of mystery etc
  • colours should be consistent with genre

Sunday morning started with a bang. Jenny Nagle, CEO NZ Society of Authors talked about what an authors’ society has to offer authors, including romance authors, and it’s a lot—like minded people and craft courses for a start.

New Zealand’s own Nalini Singh, “internationally bestselling author of the iconic Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter series of paranormal romances was the Sunday keynote. She also writes fun, contemporary romances and atmospheric NZ-set thrillers. Nalini’s sold over eight million copies worldwide and been translated into more than twenty languages. Nalini’s a generous, knowledgeable speaker who shared insights into how to thrive in the current market. She outlined key areas of focus:

  • mindset and personal goals—commit to the long term, it’s important to keep growing, know what you want long term and what you enjoy doing
  • creative foundations—write a good book, be careful of hyper-contemporary cultural references, don’t be scared of being a distinctive voice, keep your promise to the reader, the HEA
  • capacity to pivot—eg. genres, indie to trad or vice versa, length of manuscript
  • understand your bundle of author rights, what you give away and what you retain in specific contracts
  • understand your contract—not just rights, but AI clauses, reversion clauses, audit clauses, accounting (joint or separate) and ability to negotiate
  • financial literacy—you might be paying taxes
  • manage your business, time, inputs as you grow, delegate, use contractors where it works for you
  • take care: Give yourself grace eg. schedule 4 days a week, leaving a day free for unforeseen circumstances, use out-of-office messages when you need a break
  • develop positive professional relationships
  • look after your readers—don’t get a reputation for not finishing your series
  • direct communication with readers—social media is useful but shouldn’t be your primary communication with readers; use newsletter—check if subscribers want to stay
  • maintain a presence even in quiet publishing times eg. regular newsletter

And to blow your mind, the workshop on AI: risk, resilience and writing the future by Jenny Nagle and Daniel Watterson talked about what’s happening around the world to protect authors’ intellectual property as generative AI grows. The speed of change is supersonic. What’s needed are:

  • legislation—ensure transparency, labelling and enforcement
  • litigation— solving yesterday’s problems tomorrow; distinguishing types of copyright infringement—ChatGPTiseatingtheworld.com
  • licensing—need a new infrastructure for licencing

Authors can join the Human Authored program and use their logo on their works. At this stage this is limited to members of the UK Society of Authors, but they have been working with the Authors Guild in the US to launch the scheme.

The SPA Girls Session with Trudi Jaye, Cheryl Phipps, Wendy Vella and Shar Barratt was an engaging way to bring the focus back to me as an author, by taking questions and talking about how the SPA Girls maintain a successful author mindset:

  • most mindset problems are symptoms—imposter syndrome, perfectionism and self-sabotage usually trace back to a deeper root—not feeling worthy, safe or deserving. Work on the root, not just the symptom
  • comparisonitis is a career killer—someone else’s launch, rank or income report tells you nothing about your path. Stay in your own lane
  • words have power—listen to your negative self-talk—you can’t fix a story you haven’t noticed you’re telling yourself
  • find your people—a supportive writer tribe and positive accountability will carry you through the hard patches.

The final session of the day when energy is running low, I lucked out with the multi-talented Shannon Curtis and her session Use Theme Like a Queen. Shannon also operates Want2Write which provides resources for creative writers. The essential question for an author is what message do you want to convey. That’s your theme—”something that is threaded through the story, and we convey through plot events, character actions, motivations etc. This should be stated clearly, early in the book, potentially by a secondary character.” Examples of themes include:

  • trust
  • betrayal
  • forgiveness
  • caring
  • confidence
  • love
  • revenge
  • dealing with grief

Nalini Singh summed it up for me. You need to be patient with yourself and trust your voice.

This blog is for me as much as you because I wanted to keep the energy flowing after a wonderful and informative weekend. I can go back and reread it, plus I hope it inspires anyone thinking of joining me on this writing journey.

Out to the open sea

I was reminded of this song when I heard of Bernard Bolan’s recent death. The chorus is a favourite with older members of my family. Bernard wrote the words and music to Rose Bay Ferry in 1973 and the song reached #1 on the Australian charts in 1974. A gentler time perhaps, which is why it’s resonating with me at the moment. For some context—the Nicholson Brothers operated ferries on Sydney Harbour at that time.

Where are we going today, Mr. Nicholson?
Where is it going to be?
Don’t turn left, turn right down the harbour
And out to the open sea
Throw away your compass, right hand down
And it’s out through the Heads we go
So ho! let’s be merry on the Rose Bay ferry
If we run out of petrol we’ll row Yo Ho!
If we run out of petrol we’ll row

It’s that line “And out to the open sea” that’s caught my attention. Possibly Sydney winter doldrums, but gosh new places and new horizons hover like fireflies sparkling in the distance. Is this where I confess that I get seasick and a boating holiday wouldn’t be my ideal getaway?

What’s your ideal escape?

Is your idea of heaven a tent in a secluded part of wild woodlands or forest or beach? Do you want sand between your toes and grit in your swimmers, the musty scent of seaweed, waves rolling over rocks turning them blue-black, and multifarious shades of green and blue everywhere you look?

Do you prefer luxury? The limousine collecting you from home, transporting you to the airport, flute of champagne in hand. The business class flight (don’t want to go too over the top, do we? Fantasies don’t all need a flat bed?) and the person with your name on a sign waiting at the other end to take your luggage and escort you to a waiting vehicle. Part of the luxury is all those people saying—and what more would madam like?

The room, tent, caravan, whatever, must always have a view. Let yourself be romanced by:

  • tiled rooftops
  • a string of backyards where opera and lawnmowers make mish-mashed music
  • a narrow balcony across a narrow street with a violinist practising their craft
  • the sight of a vertical bridge rising in the sky leaving behind tram tracks, cars, cyclists, protestors and pedestrians—it’s real
  • a two-storey mural discovered on a wall when they demolished the building abutting it
  • barge traffic along the Rhine
  • a wombat crossing a clearing to disappear down its burrow in the Australian bush
  • a light breeze rippling through a tree, a susurrus to tickle your ears.

Writing this makes me realise I’ve never written a book about a vacation. No holiday romances for me, and yet they are a staple of the genre. It’s never even occurred to me to write a vacation romance, but given my restlessness, maybe this is the moment?

Do you have other ideas for escape? Is it as easy as closing the door on the teeming crowd, dimming the lights, turning off all devices and snuggling into a couch with a hot chocolate and a favourite book? I know some people who never read a book twice, who rarely read a book twice, who are horrified I might read a book twice, and then there are the closet revolutionaries like me who frequently return to a much loved book, seeing it as comfort food that nourishes in a dark world or a difficult time. I won’t confess how many times I’ve read some books, because that’s my secret to keep.

Is escape for you a walk through a park or trees having left devices behind? A moment to hear birds calling to each other, leaves rustling, small animals scarpering through the undergrowth? To exchange a smile with strangers and wonder about their story? To look at the sky and the endless variation in clouds? Walks refresh me. I’m often the only person without earplugs of some sort. I find those times when my mind randomly roams produce the best ideas.

For July, I wish for dreams to come true.

What’s on the horizon for me:

The Wrong Time for Love—The Anderson Sisters Book 3 released on 14 July and is available at all major booksellers. Reviews are starting to come in. My readers seem to like relatable characters grappling with life’s challenges and finding love and hope.

The Wrong Time for Love-The Anderson Sisters #3

Once upon a time, I wrote two stories about two sisters, Eleanor (Ella) and Grace Anderson. Taylor’s Law is Ella’s story and Grace Under Fire tells Grace’s story.

The bits and pieces that make up a story are complex, but part of the inspiration for those stories was watching family dynamics. In fact, watching my mother and aunt remember incidents from their childhood very differently. It made me think about the way siblings can have very different emotions and take away very different convictions from the same event.

The major event in Ella and Grace’s life was a farm injury to their mother and the need to sell some of the family farm to cover health costs. They were swindled over the sale. Ella became passionate about justice, Grace was passionate about holding on to the family land that remained.

Fast forward to The Wrong Time for Love.

When Grace Under Fire was released, a number of readers said they’d like to know the story of Bluey, a secondary character. Bluey’s the late fifties farm labourer who shares a love of cryptic crosswords with Grace, but works for Ryan—Grace’s love interest. In turn, Bluey’s love interest is Ryan’s mother. Bluey and Helen Wilson had been together about ten years before Grace Under Fire starts.

The Wrong Time for Love is a different excursion for me. Going back to Bluey and Helen Wilson’s meeting years earlier took a lot of serious thinking. And really, did I want to write a story that dealt with tricky issues like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDs), the death of a child and the messiness of grief? Are you actually normal functioning adult enough to fall in love at such a time?

Bluey and Helen are both in their forties when they meet. He’s a taciturn loner, she’s struggling to survive. So we’re dealing with second chance, potentially forbidden love, acquaintances to lovers, forced proximity, and a smoulder more than a slow burn.

They deserve their love story, so I’m glad I took the time to explore it. Thank you to the readers who asked me to try. And for those who know my writing, I deal with difficult topics, but it’s never graphic on the page. I’m looking for the human connections between people and the moments that make us hope. After all, while love encompasses many emotions, love is about hope.

All my books can be read as standalones, but Grace Under Fire and The Wrong Time For Love overlap with some of the characters and time lines.

Here’s the blurb:

Love takes a loner and a grieving mother by surprise

Farm labourer, Bluey (Lachlan Murdoch), has been travelling for twenty years, constantly on the move to forget the death of his baby girl.

Dairy farmer, Helen Wilson, is barely keeping her head above water. Her fifteen-year-old son suicided and her older son flees the area looking for paid work to help keep the farm. When a neighbour gifts her three months of Bluey’s time, it’s a lifeline.

Bluey admires Helen’s fierce defence of her boys. Helen appreciates Bluey’s quiet presence and his daily acts of kindness. When desire enters the mix, Bluey worries he’s taking advantage. Helen feels guilty about forgetting her boys, even for a moment.

Commitment isn’t in Bluey’s playbook. Helen’s struggling to navigate grief. Baring one’s soul, even sharing one’s body, is easier with a deadline.

But with the clock ticking down, what risks are they prepared to take with their hearts?
