ABOUT LAURA

The first romance novel I read was either The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss (borrowed from my father's bookshelves) or These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer (discovered on the library shelves). Both instilled a love of historical romance from which I have never recovered – and nor do I wish to recover.

For a while I read them voraciously, alternating with adventure stories and detective novels. Then I drifted away from romance novels and wondered why I was reading less and less.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to stumble across the novels of Anne Gracie and one chapter was enough to explain what I was missing - the derring-do, the love, the passion and the escapism. The kind of books that make the world look like a better place.

Now I read voraciously again although these days I read across the many sub-genres of romance, including contemporary, rural romance, paranormal and many others.

When I am not reading or writing, I work as a freelance editor. I am a member of the Romance Writers of Australia (RWA), Australian Romance Readers Association (ARRA), Editors NSW and The Institute for Professional Editors (IPEd).
