After a lifetime of living in rural New Zealand this has provided a rich base for my stories. I have always written and for many years freelanced for metroploitan and regional newspapers. I write romance because I love delving into human relationships. It is these relationships in all their diversity that make the human race so fascinating. I've been asked why Romance and my answer is always: I write romance because to me first and last, family matters. Visit my author blog https://shirleywine.com
