Gracie lives in New Zealand in a state of cheerful chaos with her husband, and a German Shepherd who thinks itself a four-legged human being with a rather frustrating speech impediment.
Trained as a primary school teacher she has since worked as a counselor, an office manager, a technical helpdesk operator, editor of a local newspaper, and a technical documenter for a company that manufactures electronics.
Her recent term as Vice President of Romance Writers of New Zealand (2007-2009) gave her not only the responsibility for the regional chapters but also the incredible privilege of getting to know so many fabulous writers. Her current position as one of the moderators of the RWNZ loop--together with her online Websites for Writers courses http://www.threebearsmethod.com and her writing teaching blog http://www.romanceshewrote.com --enables her to continue to give something back to the community that helped her through some very dark days. She is represented by Nephele Tempest at The Knight Agency.
Now, Gracie writes--mostly paranormal romantic suspense.
She dreams--mostly things she'd never tell her mother.
And she reads.
Oh yeah.
She reads, and reads, and reads.
