Stella grew up in the beautiful landlocked African country Zimbabwe. Some of her fondest memories are evenings spent with her family around a log fire under the African night sky.
A great animal lover, her mature-years have allowed an opportunity to spend time with her children, grandchildren and their many pets, Stella and her family share a love of all creatures great and small. Her young adult books capture the adventure, joy, and humour of having animals in your life. Enjoy the escapism of Stella’s fresh uplifting fiction.
Kathy Barron is a nurse in the war-torn African country of Rhodesia. In 1974 while on honeymoon in South Africa, a stranger triggers her long-suppressed memory.
‘I know you’ll think I’m crazy, Rick, but that’s the man I saw kill my brother.’
But the police consider Kathy an unreliable witness.
‘You were six-years-old, the light was poor and you’ve only come forward fifteen years later…leave the detective work to the police and go back to Rhodesia, Mrs Barron.’
Three years on, the Rhodesian Bush War has intensified. Kathy and her family leave the country they love and emigrate to South Africa. She revisits the scene of her brother’s murder – then starts her own search for his killer.
While waiting for her Australian visa to arrive, Jane leaves Zimbabwe to spend a year in England caring for the eccentric Mr Hazey.
‘You have to wear a seatbelt, Mr Hazey, it’s the law.’
‘Well, I don’t.’
Jane is tempted to return to Africa immediately, but stubborn pride makes her linger, long enough to meet Dr Bower. An awkward attraction develops, and several colourful characters embark on the bumpy rollercoaster ride – an outdated stately home – haunted secret garden – hidden past and impossible love affair.
In the picturesque setting of the Devon Moors, Magic, a lonely pony, waits for his cherished owner, Victoria, unaware of the tragedy that has struck the Dixon family.
Lizzy, a newcomer to the area, stumbles upon this neglected pony during her explorations of the countryside. At the sound of her voice, Magic’s ears perk up, signalling the beginning of a new chapter. Lizzy, moved by his plight, names him Magic and embarks on a quest to uncover his past. Her journey leads her to the heart-wrenching reason behind his abandonment.
As Lizzy forges a deep connection with Magic, they encounter resistance from those who disapprove of their bond. Together, they navigate challenges brimming with danger and adversity, testing the strength of their newfound friendship. This heartwarming story is a testament to the power of compassion and the unbreakable bonds formed in the face of hardship.

Freeway proves to be a bundle of joy and energy. He’s affectionate, brave, independent, and playfully mischievous, delighting in accompanying Lizzy and her friends on their horseback rides across the moors.
However, intrigue deepens when Freeway mysteriously vanishes one evening, only to return with an unexpected and lavish item. Questions abound: Where did he find this luxurious gift? What secret adventures is Freeway embarking on?
