@cazprickett Thank you so much. I didn't see your other comments until I came onto your page wanting to thank for the fan :) I would love to tell you what inspires me...Nothing to read that is adventurous and clean! There is so much more to love than the sex and what you build before and after that point of a relationship is more important, its what helps the other stuff. Also everything I like to read is only set in America and England. I grew up with true blue Aussie cowboys, tough as guts and hard workers. Also I come from a family of convicts, and quite well off ones at that so it wasn't hard for me to be inspired. I profess im not the best writer and my stories have obvious mistakes, but its so awesome to write down my thoughts on different situations in the expression of a story that I conjured up. And you know some things fall in my lap eg, I named the Townshends the Townshends before I even knew that Sydney was named after Lord Townshend and I made it fit!! I was so excited that day. Also I didn't know about the rum wars, or the drunken police until i researched and Im finding that really fun. My dad was in and is a military history buff so he answers those questions. I live in Tasmania (Van Diemans Land) and its rich with convict culture. Also Im half Torres Strait (indigenous Australian) So I feel i have a right to tell these stories, in a way. I have so many more planned now that i have the bug and i thank you for supporting me :) No ones asked me before and im sorry you got the long winded answer lol. Oh and i am writing third book I just needed a break from the settler series for a bit, first chapter is done though :)
