About

I have been writing all my life across many mediums and for many purposes. I've written for newspapers - features, news, legal stories - and I've written for government, niche magazines, websites and for social media campaigns. 

I have written for private enterprise and managed many public relations and communications campaigns over the years. For the past 25 years, I've put words together in various ways, for a diverse audience and a variety of reasons,  through my professional work and now as an author.

My debut novel Shadowscape – The Stevie Vegas Chronicles was published on 1 October 2012 and I’ve republished its second edition as an Indie author. It’s a story about a young skateboarder who has ESP and an amazing Kickflip (skateboard trick for those who don’t know).

My second novel Dawn of the Shadowcasters is Book 2 in the Stevie Vegas Chronicles series and it’s in production with Lodestone Books and will be available on 30 May 2014.

I’ve also authored my first adult fiction book, Belonging Places, which is in production. It’s a book for women, and about women.

<p><font color="#000000" face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><span style="line-height:normal;">An Amazon #1 bestseller with 50+ glowing reviews. </span></font></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">Available in Kindle and print.</span></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">From the very start of her faith autobiography, ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow’, author Bobbie Ann Cole reaches out across the page and endears herself to her reader. You will very quickly feel that you know her, and will be richer for the knowledge. </span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;height:auto;"><div>She comes to Israel, seeking meaning and purpose for her life, following breast cancer and the demise of her long-standing marriage. There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>

Story Behind The Book

A sense of belonging is important to be happy. When you don't belong in a job, a town, a group of friends or even in a relationship, it takes courage to let go. It takes courage to make those decisions that will lead you forward towards your belonging place. I wanted to write a book for women [and men] based on my experience, and the experiences of other women in my life - so readers could relate to the stories and say: "yes I've had that experience too. I'm not alone". Belonging is about questing. Coming home to one's self is the stuff that dreams...and reality, is made of. I hope you enjoy my book, Belonging Places.
