When a young man is found dead on the banks of Wiseman’s Ferry, his best friend, Noah Mason, becomes the prime suspect. The evidence is damning—rope fibres, a heated argument, and a witness who swears he heard Noah’s voice in the dark. But inside the courtroom, the Crown’s tower of circumstantial evidence begins to crumble. Forensic experts question the certainty of ‘consistencies,’ witnesses falter under the weight of their own memories, and a fugitive emerges from the shadows with testimony too raw to ignore. As the defence exposes flaws in the investigation, the question becomes not just who killed Ethan Davies, but how far fear, bias, and silence can twist the truth. For fans of tense, layered courtroom dramas, Key to Purgatory is a gripping exploration of justice under fire—where every shadow hides doubt, and one man’s life hangs in the balance.

I was born in Manly on the Northern Beaches in Sydney, Australia and grew up in the west after we moved there to help my brother’s eczema which was made worse by salt air. I now reside in the beautiful sunny state of Queensland. My dad had the biggest impact on my life. I have always had an overactive imagination and would often tell him stories which floated in my mind. He encouraged me to put pen to paper convinced that one day they would become published books. Apart from marrying the love of my life, the highlight of my life was being accepted into Nursing just before my 16th birthday. It had been a long-time dream and one which encompassed 37 years of my life. Along with nursing, being married to a Naval Officer for almost 47 years, and posted in numerous places, gave me experiences which I have written into many of my books. We enjoy traveling the country with our Caravan/RV, and Jack Russell puppy by the name of Gemma who will be joining us. As my parents were British, never Australian citizens, I hold dual citizenship and we plan to take advantage of this to spend two years traveling the UK and Europe in the near future. It will also give me the opportunity to catch up with many family members who reside in England. My books are in various genres - Western Historical Romance-both steamy and sweet, Contemporary Romance-steamy and sweet, Male/Male, Australian Outback and City Romance. I also have one menage and one paranormal romance along with two children's books. As I said earlier, I have a rather overactive imagination. I hope you will pick up one of my books and when you close the cover on one of my stories it will be with a satisfied sigh.
