During the final year of her teens, she spent some time in Paris before moving to Australia, where she planted her roots. Fiona worked in PR, sales, and marketing for several years before she got her big publishing break, writing a story that piqued the interest of a global publisher.

Her books require extensive research, especially the historical novels. While she has several eras that interest her, the period between 1910 and 1945 is her favorite because of the era’s scope and dramatic potential.

It takes Fiona roughly two years to write each book. She reads as much as possible, filling her head with every tiny detail she can find until her mind builds a clear picture of the type of story she wants to tell.

However, Fiona is not content with simply reading about the settings in her novels. She has to visit them. The fact that she has visited some of those countries in the past won’t stop her from visiting them again

Her readers are trusting Fiona to construct an authentic picture of places they may never visit. Therefore, she wants to do her best to satisfy their curiosity. This means walking the land her characters inhabit and absorbing as much information as possible.

In most cases, the author’s research consists of two trips. The first trip gives Fiona the big picture, a general understanding of everything she needs to know. The second visit, which typically occurs after six months, allows her to peel back the layers, taking note of details she previously missed and recording her emotional response to locations, seasons, and landscapes.

Fiona enjoys her trips because they teach her volumes about foreign cultures and traditions. The author writes organically. She doesn’t plan her novels.

Each book begins with a place. Her research gives the author a vague idea of the plot. However, Fiona expects the story to take shape organically once she sits down to write.

Her characters are the same. They arrive at their own pace, slowly revealing bits and pieces of themselves until they become real people.

Fiona is quite disciplined about her writing routine. She tries to write from the same place every day. The exact location has changed over the years. However, once the author identifies a suitable writing spot, she sticks with it.

Her goal is to write for three hours every day, starting at 9:30 in the morning, after answering emails. She usually reaches her word count by 1 PM. Then she turns her attention to administrative tasks. In an ideal week, she will work from Monday to Thursday. She spends Friday doing errands and the weekend with her family.
