Outback From Baragula (2009)
Steve Honeysuckle has vowed never to marry a
non-Christian, but when he realises his attraction
to Jillian Davidson, he tries to avoid her but finds himself very involved in her life when her twin brother is injured by cattle thieves on their large outback property.
Since her older sister's death and her brother
Matthew's new faith, Jillian, while being
challenged about spiritual issues, is bitterly hurt by thinking the "religious" Steve considers her not good enough for him to love. Then of course, he loves the mountains and she can't bear the thought of leaving her beloved, sweeping plains of the outback.
Through the dangers that threaten both the future of her home as well as those she loves, a new lifestyle and journey of faith begins for Steve and Jillian.
How can Jillian and Steve triumph over all that appears to separate them from finding true happiness?

Return to Baragula (2008)
Emily Parker's actions as a teenager not only impacted her own life but the lives of many others.
Now, six years later, she returns reluctantly to her home town of Baragula only to discover the man at the heart of those actions, Matthew Davidson, is the community's respected doctor.
While Emily's faith is now severely weakened by all that has happened, Matthew's life has completely turned around since he committed his life to Christ. His personal relationship with God is tested when he discovers how his behaviour when a non-believer hurt so many, especially Emily, and feels responsible for her hardness of heart towards the Lord.
Disease attacks the community while danger from another source threatens Emily and her family. Through it all, will Matthew and Emily's faith be strong enough to forgive each other and put the past behind them?

Hi, I live in Australia and am a multi-published romance author with 18 titles. My current releases are the first two books in the Baragula series from Ark House Press in Sydney. Return to Baragula was released in Australiasia March 2008 and now scheduled for release in North America July 2009. It is already up on Amazon and Targit for pre-orders.
Book Two, Outback From Baragula, has been released in March here and most likely also overseas in 2010.
Four of my Heartsong Present's Search series were released by Barbour Publishing Inc (Ohio) in the CBA best selling volume 'Australia' in 2000. Four historical Heartsong Presents novels in the Great Southland series were also released in the one volume, 'Australian Outback' in 2003.
After growing up on the Darling Downs in Queensland, I became a double certicated registered nurse before studying at the Church of Christ Bible College in Sydney. There I met my own hero, Ray, God made it clear he was my very own special hero. Over the years we have been so richly blessed in pastoral ministries in New South Wales and Queensland. This included successfully planting two new churches. We have also been privileged to go on three short term minstry and study team trips to Africa in Zambia, Nairobi and Ghana. After Ray officially "retired," they ministered for two years at a church in Northampton,England, before settling in Tasmania. Nowadays we have three adult children and four grandchildren.
