About Fiona
Just briefly
My pathway to writing novels began as a wordsmith in my daily work; first in corporate PR, and later in sales/marketing for the travel industry including 15 years running a travel magazine with my husband.
My first attempt at a manuscript won the notice of a global publisher and I’ve been writing novels ever since and across various genres. I am best known these days for my historical drama but also my crime series featuring Jack Hawksworth.
I have always travelled extensively, these days roaming the world for research, and while that makes me a bit of a gypsy, I’m happiest at our farm in South Australia with our three dogs, cat, and a lot of open space…and silence.
I host regular commercial fiction masterclasses for aspiring writers and our
success rate has put us firmly into the sights of the major publishers.


There’s not a great deal of space in my busy life for hobbies but I do make time to bake and to ritually make a great coffee daily – coffee is my vice…along with dark chocolate. I love streaming TV and movies, and I derive immense pleasure from reading research books for my historical novels.

At both places you’ll find me talking books, chocolate, winter boots, travel and plenty more.
