I still live in the city of my birth, Cape Town, South Africa, with my husband, two crazy rescue dogs and a cat with plenty of cattitude. A lifelong love affair with reading got me writing at a young age, but it wasn&#8217;t until I was retrenched from a soul-destroying job that I finally found the courage to write my first book, leading to its publication in 2018. I&#8217;m addicted to coffee, books and finding humor in life, not to mention happy endings against all odds. As well as being a proud and active member of the Romance Writer\u2019s Organization of South Africa (ROSA), I&#8217;m also thrilled to be a contributing author in Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward\u2019s Cocky Hero Club and Susan Stoker&#8217;s Special Forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How did you hear about this event?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">From the friend, and fellow South African author, I&#8217;ll be attending WOTR with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How many years have you attended? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">This is my first ever signing, as well as my first trip to the USA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What genres do you write?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">I write Military Romance, Romantic Suspense, and Contemporary Romance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What is a book of yours you wish more people read?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">If I had to narrow it down to one book, I&#8217;d have to say Gator&#8217;s Gambit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What is one fun fact about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">My very first job was drawing maps.
