The idea for the Hearts & Vines series had been with me for almost ten years before I finally began writing it.I knew I wanted to create stories about love, family, belonging and second chances, set in a world shaped by vineyards, farms, shared meals and the beauty of South Australia’s wine regions.

Question 3

Why did you choose a wine region as the setting?

Accepted Answer

Wine regions have always felt full of stories to me.
There is something about the landscape, the seasons, the old stone buildings, the family histories and the way food and wine bring people together that makes them a beautiful setting for romance.

Question 4

Is the Barossa Valley a real place?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Barossa Valley is one of South Australia’s most well-known wine regions and has been a strong inspiration for the Hearts & Vines series.The books are fictional, but the feeling of the place, the vineyards, farms, food, wine and sense of community are all inspired by the region.

Question 5

Are the places in the book real?

How much of yourself is in your books?

Accepted Answer

Like many authors, little pieces of me find their way into the stories.My love of wine regions, long lunches, family, friendship, socialising and places that hold memories all influence the world of Hearts & Vines. The characters themselves are fictional, but the feelings behind the stories are very real.

Question 7

Why is food such a big part of the series?

Food brings people together.In the Hearts & Vines world, meals are more than just meals. They are a way of showing love, building connection, creating memories and sometimes saying the things characters cannot quite put into words.

Question 8

What do you hope readers feel when they read your books?

Accepted Answer

I hope readers feel welcomed into the world of Hearts & Vines.I want the stories to feel warm, grounded and real, the kind of books you can settle into with a cup of tea or a glass of wine and feel as though you are spending time with people you know.
