Annie Seaton lives on the edge of the South Pacific Ocean on the east coast of Australia She is fulfilling her lifelong dream of writing and has been delighted to discover that readers love reading her stories as much as she loves writing them. Annie lives with her own hero of many years. Their two children are now grown up and married, and two beautiful grandchildren have arrived. Now they share their home with Toby, the naughtiest dog in the universe, and two white cats. When she is not writing she can be found in her garden or walking on the beach... or most likely on her deck overlooking the ocean, camera in hand as the sun sets. Each winter, Annie and her husband leave the beach to roam the remote areas of Australia for story ideas and research. In 2014 Annie was voted Author of the Year and in 2015 was voted Best Established Author in the AusRomToday.com Readers' Choice Awards. Readers can contact Annie through her website annieseaton.net or find her on Face Book, Twitter and Instagram.
The inspiration for The Prickle Creek Farm series (4 books: Her Outback Cowboy, Her Outback Surprise, His Outback Nanny and His Outback Temptation) came from a camping trip out to the Pilliga Scrub when our children were small.
I listened to the farmer and his wife as they told me about their romance and how they had met on a working holiday overseas. She went back to England, and he came home to the family farm in Australia, but love could not keep them Soon after she followed him back to Australia and they married and had three sons.
Years passed but I always remembered their story. In my book the grandparents were inspired by this real life romance. We went back out there to visit last year and I took beautiful photos of the outback sunsets and paddocks, and as I did, the idea for the stories set out there was born.
The last thing advertising art director Lucy Bellamy wants is to go home to the Outback, but duty to family calls. At least there’s one bonus—her first love, sexy cowboy neighbour, Garth Mackenzie, is there and the attraction between them is still explosive. But Lucy has no intention of getting stuck in this two-bit town and she counts down the days until she can go back to her real life.
After an engineering degree and working in the mines of Western Australia, Garth has returned to the Outback and is home to stay. His goal is to settle down, start a family, and work his beloved land with the girl he’s always loved. But if it comes to Lucy choosing between the glamour of the city or making a home with him in the Outback—he’d lose, hands down.

Ooh, I love stories about engineers!
Oh, after reading about your life in Australia...makes me want to visit your country all the more than I do already. It is on my bucket list...don't know if I'll ever make it there, but I can dream. I love the beaches too and living in Michigan, we have plenty of beaches without all the salt water and sharks! LOL
