Hello and welcome to my website

I hope you are enjoying my sixth novel, Head Over Heels, published in April 2010.

It’s the third and final in the Penny Rushmore trilogy, following on from the second in the series, A Sandwich Short of a Picnic and, before that, Split Time.

The three novels trace the very fast footsteps of Penny Rushmore as she trips over her heels, careering from one mini-crisis to the next. Penny belongs to the Sandwich Generation — sandwiched between a career, demanding kids, increasingly demanding elderly parents and a badly behaved spaniel.

I have to confess, Penny is just a little bit like me – like her, I run a busy PR consultancy while trying to keep tabs on my husband, two children and a greedy spaniel, not to mention those unwanted kilos. But there the resemblance ends, I’m pleased to say.

My first three novels were a mix of historical fiction and present-day cliffhangers. They sold well and got good reviews, but the Penny Rushmore trilogy has been really taking off.

I’ve also written the best-selling biography Dare to Dream – the John Britten Story, a couple of corporate histories (Lane Walker Rudkin, celebrating its centennial, and the Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce to commemorate its 150th). From time to time, I write for North and South magazine. Click here to read some of my articles, including two about the amputee climber Mark Inglis.

When I’m not writing, I work as a public relations consultant for a range for companies and organisations in the South Island of New Zealand, I serve voluntarily on a number of boards. You can find out more about my PR work by visiting the Carter Price Rennie website www.carterpricerennie.co.nz

I hope you enjoy browsing this website and finding out more about my books and my other writing, including an article about the trials and tribulations of getting published. Have a good read!
