I’m thrilled to share that my new novel, Wild Horses, is out in the world today!

This story is especially close to my heart — a tale of second chances, the quiet strength of country communities, and the healing power of horses. Set in the foothills of Queensland’s stunning Bunya Mountains, Wild Horses follows Christy Peacock, a city drama teacher whose life is upended by scandal. She escapes to Currawong Creek, a horse therapy camp nestled in the countryside, where wounded hearts — human and horse alike — are given the space to heal.

There, Christy meets celebrity chef Tyler Ward, a man struggling to reconnect with his withdrawn teenage son. As Christy helps the boy bond with an ex-racehorse, a powerful connection grows between her and Tyler — but past secrets threaten to upend everything.

Wild Horses is a feel-good rural romance, brimming with warmth, wilderness, and hope. It’s also a tribute to a real-life horse named Lofty, rescued by my son Matt from the kill pens of a knackery. Matt and that big bay spent many years ridiing through the mountains together. Unfortunately Lofty passed away last year, but the bond those two shared inspired the emotional heart of this story — and writing this novel was a way of bringing him back to life.

This book is a celebration of second chances — of finding light in the dark, love in unlikely places, and healing through nature and connection. It’s the perfect read for Mother’s Day, or for anyone in need of a story that reminds us we’re never too lost for a fresh start.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me on this journey. I hope Wild Horses gallops straight into your heart 💛 You can find it wherever books are sold, as print, eBook or audio. In a week or two you’ll also be able to purchase signed copies directly from this website.
