About

I am an Australian author, a working wife and mum, living in Brisbane with my husband, kids, dogs and cats. I work for the local power company now, spent six years in the Navy and was once a school teacher. I love top hear a story, read a story and tell a story. I have a long train commute to work and that's when I write.

Description

<p>Dr. Bethany McNeal is living her dream as a pediatric resident in one of the most sought-after medical centers in Seattle. Beautiful and intelligent, she’s missing only one thing—love, which she put on hold to focus on her career after ending a tumultuous relationship. Everything changes when she meets Dr. Brent Anderson, a charming and handsome fellow resident. Despite her reservations, Bethany falls for Brent—hard. When she learns Brent is married several months into their relationship, she immediately breaks it off. After graduating residency and going their separate ways, Bethany tries to move on with another man—real estate broker and personal trainer Charles Blakely. But just when things get serious with Charles, she realizes she’s still in love with Brent, and she finds herself caught between the two men, facing a series of difficult decisions and harrowing events that will change her life forever. Will she be able to recover from the vital temptations that turned her perfect life upside down?</p>

Story Behind The Book

For years I have been telling others stories about the amazing things that happened to me in the Navy. People have laughed and cried and said to me "there's a book in that!" so I started writing down some of the tales. Gradually the collection of anecdotes gathered shape and required a lead character to pivot from... Nina Yusof and the other mad members of New Entry Officer's Course were born! I hope you enjoy Crisp Whites

The reader is treated to the life changing journey of naval recruit Nina Yusof, the story creates an enthralling world, of duty, honour, friendship, passion and intrigue. The interplay between the members of division, and the masterful way the author manages to intertwine their stories together makes this book impossible to put down. All in all I was left wanting more, what is next for Nina and her fellow div members? A sequel could not come fast enough! </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <span style="margin-left:-5px;"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/customer-reviews/stars-5-0._V192240867_.gif" alt="5.0 out of 5 stars" border="0" width="64" height="12" /></span> <strong>A must-read!</strong>, June 13, 2010</div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">By </td><td><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A37D2HMVCNXZZU/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="white-space:nowrap;">Janice<img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/carrot._V192251235_.gif" class="custPopRight" style="border:medium none;" alt="" /></span></span></a> - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A37D2HMVCNXZZU/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview">See all my reviews</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div> <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <span class="crVerifiedStripe"><strong class="h3Color tiny" style="margin-right:.5em;">Amazon Verified Purchase</strong><span class="tiny verifyWhatsThis">(<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/community-help/amazon-verified-purchase">What's this?</a>)</span></span> </div> <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <strong><span class="h3color tiny">This review is from: </span>Crisp Whites (Paperback)</strong> </div> After a gentle start, &quot;Crisp Whites&quot; will have you in turn laughing, fearful, excited and enthralled.

I can't wait for her next book!
