I thought I answered you but mixed it all up. So, another Aussie eh. I hail from Melbourne. You like WW2 history, my great love is the WW1. I have been to the battlefields on the Somme in France and in Belgium as well.
The other night I heart that my Australian Historical Romance
Storm Girl has made it to the semi-finals of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, which was rather exciting.

Audio books sound exciting.

Potted Bio: Life began with a huge disadvantage. I fell in love at age 3 with aeroplanes. This is not a good start for a little girl. My second love came soon after: writing. It's tough to combine the two, so when I quit working the galley for British Airways I came to Australia for adventure.
I love reading; hate most of what tv stations churn out as 'entertainment'. I believe in romance, the power of the feline and my ability to cast the occasional spell on anyone who's wronged me. (Probably inherited from my maternal grandmother, who openly admitted to being a witch!) Don't worry, though. It has to be a very serious 'wrong'!

Nancy Wake's my kind of heroine, Yeah!
