Fur and Farm and Country Charm.
Welcome! Jazz and I are really glad you dropped by.
While I’m passionate about sheep, particularly merinos, if you hang around you’ll find I’m a lover of anything rural, including all animals, especially ones that might make a great story. Just about anything that pulls at my heartstrings to get my attention will most likely win a spot in my blog one day, and certainly a place in a book!
If you watch carefully, you may notice a thread happening within my Blog which could offer clues as to what interesting themes my next story might hold. So stay tuned.
The Thrill never gets old.
My debut novel came out in June 2022 and it’s been wonderful to hear the great feedback.

ARRA Awards
It was truly an honour to be awarded runner-up for Favourite Debut Romance Author for 2022 AND nominated for favourite Front Cover. The team at Harlequin Escape did the most amazing job and Ross couldn’t have been captured more perfectly.
Thank you for your votes. They mean the world to me!
Ever thought of this?
Tools of the trade:
These shearer’s moccasins are what many shearer’s wear every day while they shear. They are made from sheepskin and are wool lined, protecting the shearer’s feet during work. They grip the wooden floor (board) well and absorb sweat. Having said that, I have come across some shearer’s who prefer to work in bare feet!
Handpiece:
This is what the shearers use to shear the sheep. They’re super sharp and very dangerous.
Cutters:
These go on top of the comb (the piece with long fingers) and do the actual cutting of the wool from the sheep’s body.
Freshly shorn wool.
There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh lanoline, the feel of soft wool beneath your fingers and the sight of superfine wool. It’s pretty special.
Great News!
