NAMUH Book 1: The Awakening
August 8th, in the not-so-distant future, just before dawn.
In a remote rain forest on the North Island of New Zealand, overlooking the constantly moving ocean, stands a very large, very old Kauri tree. The air is cool and wet, the drizzling rain briefly interrupted by the thick green canopy high above the forest floor. There, it gathers into larger droplets, preparing for the forty-metre plunge to the earth below.
Covered in an immensely dense layer of wet moss, this tree trunk is fifteen metres in diameter. The trunk towers steeply upward, void of any branches for the full forty metres, before strong, thick bra

Brenda Gayle

Life is messy and I try to reflect that in my stories while still leaving readers with a feeling of hope. I want them to see themselves and people they know in my characters.

You could say writing is in my genes. My paternal grandmother was a formidable diarist; my father was a journalist and poet; my sister and cousin are both published authors; even my son has shown a talent for putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) to tell awesome stories. So, it came as no surprise to anyone when I returned to my love of fiction after more than 20 years in the world of corporate communications–although some might argue there was plenty of opportunity for fiction-writing there, too.

A fan of many genres, I find it hard to stay within the publishing

An army brat, my family moved a lot when I was a child. Consequently books became my best friends as they could move with me.
I played around with writing untill 1997, when I started getting serious about it and started taking courses. Although I loved reading historical romance, especially Regency romance, the first novel I completed was a western contemporary romance. I think I wrote that book just to prove I could. Now my work in progress is the 3rd book in my Regency series.

I am a doctor, living and working in Adelaide, South Australia. This has always been my home, apart from a wonderful year working in London in the early days. Since my teenage years, Greek and Roman history has been my favourite reading. “A Pyrrhic Victory” is an extension of my love of, and delight in, Greco-Roman history and literature. It was a great honour to have the book published, and even more so when it received the two literary awards: 2011 IPPY Awards. Gold Medal, Historical Fiction (Category 12 B, Military / War). Winner, Historical Fiction. NABE Pinnacle Book Awards, Summer 2012.
