Janet Gover has always been a writer. She started her career as a journalist – covering everything from politicians to murders and rock stars. She grew up in the Australian bush – but was lured to London by an Englishman with green eyes.

Her first short story was published in 2002, shortly before she joined the RNA. In 2007, another of her short stories won the Elizabeth Goudge Award and was subsequently published in the RNA’s 50th Anniversary Anthology – Loves me, Loves Me Not.

As a teenager, Janet discovered that falling in love with the boy next door is difficult – when next door is 50 miles away and all you have for transport is a horse. Her experiences with love Down Under have led her to write light-hearted outback romances for Little Black Dress.

When David Szelnick bought the rights to Margaret Mitchell’s 'Gone With the Wind', only six months after its 1936 publication, the whole world cast Clark Gable as Rhett Butler before the ink was dry on the contract.
