My first historical novel without any hint of the supernatural…Except that I am convinced I was meant to write this book to show women of today the power they have and continue to give away.
Available in all retail outlets in paperback, hardback, e-book and audio-book
Following its publication, I was excited when it won the 2017 Marie Irvine Literary Excellence Award, followed by the Women’s Firebird Award in 2019 and 5 Stars from the Readers Favourite Awards. I gave talks to a variety of women’s groups and spread the power of this book to women, to learn from what was and never go back to being less than any man.
The diary series is a journey of self discovery for many women readers as they navigate the lives of Victorian women and read about their lives and most secret thoughts and feelings that no man has any power over. Women are seeing how very little has changed for women and our rights to live free. The patriarchal society is slowly breaking and women are stepping forward in their power every day. fighting the so-called ‘trans’ movement as men feel determined to violate women’s rights to privacy and dignity. women are fighting back against child rape (marriage) and men’s behaviour and pathetic attitudes towards women, believing we’re lower than man, when in reality, we are equal if perhaps superior if you look beyond the man-made bible that was created to subjugate women and look into the truth around the Goddess Lilith?
Following years of women asking for a follow up – the ‘Diary’ series was born and I wrote Betsy Shaw with an angle that every woman would be connected in some way. Those who have read the first diary will know that Betsy is Margery’s ladies maid.
All books can be read as stand alone books, but, it might help the reader to begin with Margery to understand the full range of thoughts and emotions.
Set six years after Margery, Betsy is now married and a new mother, but her life is not what she’d hoped and a ‘friend’ from her past needs her help before men do the unthinkable and she is lost forever. Betsy finds that a group of women have more power and influence than they could have ever dreamed of and they each begin to find something within themselves.
Coming Soon…

The next diary is underway, Diary of Maggie Walsh and I hope to finish that by 2027.
Each diary is connected by the women authors and within the pages, the women recount their experiences of life as women in the Victorian era, forced marriages, motherhood, prostitution, asylums, kidnapping, afternoon tea and secrets and so much more.
My hope is to write 6 diaries connecting the women through the years.
Why did I write them?
I see women giving their power away to men, to society, to ‘fit in’ when we are equal, we are the mothers of this earth, the warriors, the ones who must be both feminine and masculine, we embrace the goddess and dance our power, we are the wild banshee and cunning gypsy, we are the sisters, connected by blood, we are the power of creation while connected to the moon as our menstrual cycle celebrates our power. We are the daughters of the earth and of fire as our passions ignite with every monstrosity done to us by cowardly men who fear us so much they created ‘religions’ to subdue our power while they gawk at our bodies yet repulsed at the purpose of them. We are not men’s ‘play things’. We are not here to be pestered and mauled for their pleasure, we are women.
We are woman and we will never be still, subdued, beaten or less than, but equal in all.
