Chelsea Locke

Have you ever read a book and decided, 'Hell, I can do way better!' That, in a nutshell, is me. I've been reading for years. In fact, it's my hobby, along with seeking out fabulous white wines, champagne, eating good food, and meandering through Mecca looking for that new bold ruby red lipstick. Anyway, let me get back on track. So having decided I had the determination to write, I completed several courses, and then it was time to write. I entered a short story competition with Romance Writers of Australia and shared first place with two other skilled writers. My short story "One and Done" is published in the Little Gems Short Story Anthology 'Tiger's Eye.' Then I began my first category romance titled "Tackling Trouble," which I pitched to Entangled Publishing in August 2020. I received fantastic feedback and suggestions to improve with an invitation to resubmit in October 2021. My stories focus on corporate meets Rugby League Football.

Meanwhile, I joined four other skilled writers. We wrote the Anthology "High Country Kisses" set in Regional Australia. My story "High and Dry" combines cake baking, bush fires, and mazes with Lizzie and Matt negotiating romance in Emu Bend.

Currently, I'm writing my second book working title "Marital Mayhem." Ultimately as my craft improves, I plan to write a romantic suspense set in Corporate Australia. I would describe corporations as a pit of slithering snakes, all trying to triumph over workmates for promotion or for the sheer joy of Machiavellian machinations. How much fun will it be to write a story of mystery, death, and romance amongst all that drama? If you, by chance, have arrived at my page, I hope you enjoyed my stories and where my writing is going. Reviews are encouraged and welcome. Short, long in between. Fabulous, brutal, or again somewhere in between.
