A Leap of Faith (28 page)

Frustrated by the lack of strong female characters in the current fiction I was reading I set myself the challenge to write something that was interesting, compelling and yet easy enough to read that was still enjoyable. Pulling from my own past "colourful" experiences and the amazing personalities I have surrounded myself with, I had no shortage of inspiration. With a strong slant on erotic fiction, my core characters are empowered women who don't have to sacrifice their femininity.

A Twist of Fate

A Leap of Faith

A Time for Hope (due
February 2014)

I couldn't have imagined when I started this journey with my first book that the road would have led m
e here. This journey and all its rewards would not have been possible without my precious inner circle, where I am free to be crazy and creative without judgement.

The beautiful ladies who have helped me realise to my true potential, especially Erminia (Mini) Cayte (Golf), Michelle (Shell), Natalie (Nat), Justine (Juzzie), and Sam, who have been on this road with me.

Sam, in my darkest time, you were my light. Editor, counsellor, conspirator and my biggest cheerleader. The countless hours you spent with me and the effort you invested is a debt I could never repay. Thank you and see you in Paris!

To my family especially Gep, Jenna, Liam and Woodley. Your love and support has never wavered. You make this all worthwhile. You are my sanctuary, my heart and there are no words to express my gratitude.

Angelique, your photography captured my vision. Thank you.

Gian (you'll always be my baby brother) thank you for your beautiful designs on all my covers. Designer extraordinaire! Grace, I know you helped "convince" him, love you both.

Lastly but no less important, to YOU. The ones who read and follow the story of Lexi and Alex and who want more. A book unread is a story never told and I'm really glad I got to tell this one.
