Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
I remember the first fantasy story I ever read. It was Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. This epic high fantasy was full of danger and strange creatures and magic. I was totally hooked. The fact that the story was a trilogy meant I could live in that world with those characters for an extended period. Ever since then, I've loved fantasy and series- the longer the better!
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in the Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland, Australia. It was a rural lifestyle especially in high school and I trained and rode my horses every spare moment. Horses feature strongly in my stories and in The Lady's Choice, Benae is very close to her stallion. It's a special relationship like the one I had with my horse Captain. I also remember a childhood full of imaginative games. My sister and I used to pretend we were female Texas rangers whether we were in the pool or on our bikes. I was always drawn to horses whether it be in moves, books or real life.
