Author Interview
What inspired you to write A Cowgirl's Dream?
I have been involved with horses for most of my life and love happy ever afters. As an Aussie, I wanted to write a character that embodied a lot of the cowgirls that I know. I also wanted to write a story about the strong women in rodeo, their sisterhoods and men they choose to love.
If you could sum up the book in one sentence, what would you say?
True love doesn’t mean giving up on your dreams, take it from an Aussie cowgirl and Brazilian bull rider.
Which character do you relate to the most and why?
Definitely Frankie. She isn’t perfect, she has to work hard for everything that comes her way. She also suffers from imposter syndrome. Now that I think about it, there might be a bit of me in her.
What do you hope readers will take with them after they’ve read it?
If he is the right man you won’t have to choose between love and your dreams, instead he will lift you up. And no matter what, your friends will catch you if you fall.
What has been the most surprising, challenging and rewarding about being a debut author?
The most challenging has been dealing with the same issues everyone has in 2020. Having to add home schooling my children to writing a novel was not something that I could have factored in. This year I turn 40 and the satisfaction of being able to say that I have finally done it, I have published my work, it seems surreal to me.
What is something about you that is unique or that we may not know about you?
Um, besides being an Aussie? Before I started writing I combined competitive horse riding with working as an arborist (yep, I climbed trees with chainsaws for a job).
