A Soulmate Who Accepts You
In Surf n Turf, a woman is left reeling following an unexpected marriage proposal, and her search for clarity leads her down a difficult path and into the arms of a man who may have all the answers. Where did the idea for this story come from?
I first came up with the idea of Luan, after reading an article on a man they refer to as the “salty shepherd,” a sheep farmer who does big wave surfing. My family lives in the Klein-Karoo (small Karoo), and my husband was a surfer in his youth. So I decided to make the story between Cape Town – Surf and the Karoo – Turf. Sarah was learning to surf, and she wants to open a bakery – I was playing on the classic Surf n Turf meal as well. Then I ran into a street sign…and concussed myself, giving me the idea for the amnesia.
What was the inspiration for Sarah’s traits and dialogue?
A young colleague.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
The desire to understand one’s past in order to make sense of unexplained emotive reactions. The need to connect with family. The need to close one chapter in order to move on in life. The need for a soulmate who accepts you as you are.
Can fans expect to see more from you soon? What are you currently working on?
A medical romance Fire & Ice. A workaholic sports physician clashes with a misogynist anesthetist and metaphorical claws fly. This hot single dad’s engaging daughter keeps drawing them back together, until what they want (each other) clashes with their mutual mistrust of the opposite gender, and they need to redefine their beliefs and trust in the existence and healing power of forgiveness, love, and honesty.
And then there’s a time travel romance under construction.

On the way, disaster strikes leaving her lost and confused in an arid landscape. Rescued by a handsome sheep farmer, she has just a locket; a phrase: “touch the stars” and a faded map, to navigate her way forward.
As for Luan, one minute he is warm and friendly, the next haunted by pain and so distant.
What has hurt him so deeply? What will it take to melt the ice around his heart? Can Luan help Sarah find what she is looking for?
