Megan's world is destroyed when her husband of over thirty years dies unexpectedly. On the anniversary of his death, still heartbroken and disconsolate, Megan receives a mysterious package from Cornwall. It jolts her out of her cloistered world and gives her new strength. She needs that strength. The world awaiting her is full of contradictions - confusion, disappointment, delight. The parcel contains a journal written a century earlier, and with it comes a strange request. But who is the author? Raised in New Zealand by her grandmother, Megan knows nothing about her past. She embarks on a journey of discovery and personal renewal through Cornwall and Florence, following in the footsteps of the journal's author. She exposes secrets that change her life and learns about the art world linking these places. She finds new family and forges new friendships - can she also find love again?

I am a wife, mother of two, grandmother of four and an author (BA English, MA (Hons) Education). In my life, I have been a stay-at-home mum, school library assistant, secretary, executive assistant, retailer, seamstress, embroiderer and tutor, local body politician, amateur thespian both on stage and behind the scenes, a professional conference organiser and now I can proudly say I'm an author. I wonder where the next twenty years in my life will lead me? I live on the North Shore of Auckland with my husband of over 40 years, within walking distance of the beach - my favourite place to walk, to think and to be at peace. I love stage musicals, gardening, reading - mostly historical novels - and genealogy. I love horses and equestrian, used to ride, fell off once too often and no longer ride. I leave that to my granddaughter now. I write as often as I can but not as often as I'd like. I do a lot of research. I like to know things. I also write short stories, poetry and blank verse. I started writing seriously in 2007 after years of interest in New Zealand history and genealogy. I am a bit of an idealist at heart and weave family and history together, throwing in a bit of travel, some food and love, of course, love, and my stories come to life. My latest book, 'The Cornish Knot', is about Megan, a widow of 12 months who mysteriously receives her great-grandmother's journal written a hundred years ago. She embarks on a journey to trace her family tree, discovering secrets and follows the footsteps of journal's author from Cornwall via Italy to New Zealand. This book is the first of The PastFinders series.
