How about this? Now in print, ebook and audio.

I call it “my sister/father story” and it’s about family fishing holidays and camping (it is very close to my heart).

There was no saving their father, but can they save each other?

On her sixteenth birthday, Layla Scott uncovered an unimaginably cruel secret, and over the years tried too many times to stop the hurt. Now her sister is in the last place Layla wants to be, remembering someone Layla wants to forget, and dangerously close to the painful truth.

Loss, grief and guilt have kept Chelsea clinging to her childhood home, alienating her husband and kids. She’s now alone in the house nobody wants to live in but her and surrounded by memories of a beloved father the sea swept away three decades earlier. Chelsea hopes to confront her past trauma by returning to Sandbar Campground, but her fears only intensify when her estranged sister shows up.

Can Layla, along with local surfing fanatic, Thaddeus Poulle, help Chelsea see she’s holding too tight to all the wrong things and . . .   

. . .  the sea always gives up its secrets.

If you don’t know me … Hello!

In 2014, I became Australia’s Nomadic Novelist, so grateful to be touring this amazing country full time. Four times published with Simon & Schuster—and worldwide with Head of Zeus (UK) and Ulverscroft (Aurora audio)— I’ve been writing my signature small-town fiction stories (contemporary family relationship dramas) since 2013 when House for all Seasons was awarded #5 top-selling debut novel. In 2020, my 6th novel – House of Wishes (a follow up to House for all Seasons) was nominated for RWA (Romantic Elements) Fiction Book of the Year Award. You’ll find my Australian fiction at your favourite e-tailer (or buy signed paperbacks from my bookshop that never closes (below).
