A lifelong reader of most genres, Louisa discovered romance novels later than most, but immediately fell in love with the intensity of emotion, the high drama and the family focus of Medical Romance.

With a Bachelors Degree in Communication and a nursing qualification under her belt, writing Medical Romance seemed a natural progression, and the perfect combination of her two interests. And making things up is a great way to spend the day!

An English ex-pat, Louisa now lives north of Auckland, New Zealand, with her husband, two teenage sons and two male cats. Writing romance is her opportunity to covertly inject a hefty dose of pink into her heavily testosterone-dominated household. When she's not writing or researching Louisa loves to spend time with her family and friends, enjoys traveling, and adores great food. She's also hopelessly addicted to zumba.

Louisa Heaton first started writing romance in secondary school and would take her stories in to show her friends, scrawled on lined A4 in a big red binder, with plenty of crossing out.

She dreamt of romance herself and found her own husband in the pen pals wanted column of an animal magazine she subscribed to. After only knowing him for three weeks, she shocked her parents by agreeing to his proposal of marriage and heading off to Surrey to live with him.

Once there, she began writing stories of romance again and discovered the wonderful world of Medicals. After four children, including a set of twins, and fifteen years of trying to get published, she finally got The Call she'd been waiting for!

Now she lives on Hayling Island, by the beach and when she's not being a First Responder, providing emergency life support for South Central Ambulance Service, she creates her stories as she wanders up and down the wonderful Hampshire coastline with her two dogs, talking to herself and scaring the locals.

With a background of working in medical laboratories and a love of the romance genre it's no surprise that Sue Mackay writes medical romance stories.

She wrote her first story at age eight and hasn't stopped since. She lives in New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds where she indulges her passions for cycling, walking and kayaking. When she isn't writing she also loves cooking and entertaining guests with sumptuous meals that include locally caught fish.
