As a child, reading the Ladybird book ' The Nurse ' sowed the seeds for Colette Cooper's future career. Using her experiences as a nurse to write medical romances with vibrant, interesting heroes and heroines to fall in love with is a dream come true. Colette lives in a beach house in Australia in her day dreams, but in reality, she lives in the heart of England, just about as far from the sea as it is possible to be in the UK but very close to the home of Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy! As well as writing, she practices yoga, which she isn't bad at and French, which needs much more practice!.
