About

Kathleen is a proud mother and foster mother.

She has also been, among other things, a circus performer, portrait photographer, primary school teacher, cake artist, nanny, tour guide, and wedding and event planner.

Her goals in life are simply to finish raising happy, imaginative, and inquisitive children; to make a real and tangible difference in the lives of others; and to keep writing novels for as long as she possibly can.

Kathleen makes her home in the isolated desert, surrounded by red dirt, striking mountain ranges, and endless clear blue skies. It is this stunning landscape that features as backdrop for many of her novels.

When she is not writing, you can find Kathleen hanging out with her boys, reading, or planning her next adventure!

Ah, summer. The time for endless, unbreaking, heat Ah, summer. The time for endless, unbreaking, heat. Of high temperatures and high humidity, combined with, at least where I live, dry, hot, desert winds that feel as if they are literally sanding the skin right off your body. The heat radiates from every surface, bouncing off the concrete to burn your shins, laying stagnant in furniture ready to brand the back of your legs.

I love reading the dedications found in books almo I love reading the dedications found in books almost as much as I love writing them. Each dedication, no matter how flippant, is deeply personal to me. 

Caleb's Song is dedicated to an actual person called Caleb, who once upon a time, wore a pair of skinny black jeans. I thought that they looked as sexy as hell, and it got me thinking about what kind of person would wear skinny black jeans.

I thought it would be really cool if I had special I thought it would be really cool if I had special postcards featuring the covers from my books, as they are simply amazing, and I have always loved the old fashioned Penguin book cover postcards. My book cover designer, Kylie, from Cover Culture, was happy to oblige, and voila! I am now the proud owner of a set of epic money-can't-buy postcards.

So excited to announce that Caleb's Song will be a So excited to announce that Caleb's Song will be available in paperback through Amazon marketplaces and Book Depository; as well as in eBook format from 20 December 2020, just in time for Christmas reading!

Music was his life, until it cost him his brother…

As lead singer of the world-famous band, Three Odd Lizards, Caleb Roman had it all: money, women, and a superstar life envied by millions.

In a split second, everything changed.

Now, silenced by grief, he lives the life of a recluse, consumed with guilt, and tormented by regret.

Small town girl, with no room for dreams…

Gabby thought she had it all, her dream job in Paris, great friends around her, and a perfect fiancé.

In a single moment, everything changed.

Frivolous hopes and dreams were packed away, replaced by duty and responsibility. A single mum, running the family bakery and caring for her parents, there just isn't time for 'what ifs', and no use for them in small town Beryl Creek.

A chance encounter…

Swapping bustling Sydney for a short break in the country, Caleb sees no harm in being less than truthful about his identity with the locals.

When Gabby and Caleb's worlds collide, mutual attraction sparks, igniting long dormant desires. In each other's arms they both find what it is they never knew they wanted, but as dawn breaks, will one night be enough?

When the paparazzi storms into town, confronting Gabby and revealing Caleb's true identity, will Gabby forgive his lies, or will she walk away forever?
