Writing and Publishing
About the Author
I started writing fiction in 2015 and have since published a range of fiction and non-fiction titles under my publishing enterprise Strong Female Protagonists. Strong Female Protagonists was created to change the narrative of gender in storytelling. Long have female characters become strong due to a male adversary and a wrongdoing that has changed their life. What readers want to see is strong woman who were born fierce or chose a path that creates a strength within.
Let’s have characters we love because we see ourselves in them. Storytelling allows us to explore who we are and who we want to be. Of course, storytelling should always be entertaining, and my novels have more than their share of complex, humorous and deplorable characters. Whatever your reading preference is, there is a book you will love in these publications.
I strongly believe that we all have a book within us just wanting to be written. My passion is to support new and experienced writers from film and publishing to write their story and navigate the publishing journey. Creative coaching sessions can be booked via zoom, phone or face to face on the gorgeous Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.

Advice For Life
Contained within these pages you will find some of the greatest Advice For Life you will ever read. It was written by authors, psychologist, mothers, filmmakers, athletes, poets, and philosophers. Some of the most wide, wild, and wonderful people I have ever met.
When I celebrate my 50th birthday in 2021, you won’t hear me complain of the size of that number nor the wonders of ageing. Each year with loved ones is cherished. But at fifty, we should be wise, shouldn’t we? So, instead of present, I asked my friends to share with me their greatest piece of life advice.
My gift to you, the reader, is the compilation of their wise and humourous murmurings. I trust you will enjoy reading them as much as I loved receiving my precious birthday gifts.

The Reef
Book Two (Book One is The List)
Kasie reflects on the dichotomy in nature that is her reef. Deep dark and secretive on one side. On the other, a marvel of colours and creatures exposed in its clear waters. Much like her life.

Is she truly able to commit to this island paradise forever?
Can she really pledge marriage and all that promise entails?
