To Gep, Jenna, Liam and Woodley - I could never overstate how much you mean to me. Thank you for allowing me to follow my dream, and sticking with me while I jump off the cliff into the unknown. I’m nothing without my wolf pack.

To my amazing friends who keep me laughing, listen to my crazy rants, humor my insane ideas and who love me unconditionally. Sam, Mini, Juzzie, Golf, Nat, Shell, Kylie, Jo, Grace, Bec and Kirsty – you are the best cheerleaders ever, a million thanks.

To my outstanding Beta readers who read my raw work, laugh at my typos, and give me valuable feedback. Sam, Kelly and Amy. Nipples could have still worked in place of Nibbles - as Dan would say, it’s all in the telling. It is without a doubt that you made this a better book. Thank you x

Thank you to the amazing authors who have welcomed me into their world, or more accurately, just not ejected me when I crashed in, uninvited. KM Golland, TJ Hamilton, JB Hartnett, Rachel Brookes, Lili Saint Germain, Lilliana Anderson, CJ Duggan, Skyla Mardi, JD Nixon, Kylie Scott, Joanna Wylde and Kim Karr. I believe I owe few of you pie, feel free to collect anytime. Thank you for supporting me and accepting me into the sisterhood. You are all stuck with me now. *insert maniacal laugh here*

Thank you to the amazing Hang Le, who makes scorching hot teasers and design pretties for me. You nail it each and every time.

Thank you my brother Gian for his repeated design prowess on my covers. You are the man. I’m so glad you decided to become a designer instead of a chef, although those almond biscotti were pretty bad-ass.

Thank you to Angelique Ehlers for cover photography.

Thanks to the Fictionally Yours, Melbourne 2015 crew- Penny, Mel and Simone. #WordWizard

Thank you to my editor, Marion Archer, for making sure my manuscript is perfect. I’m not the easiest person to edit and I appreciate your effort and patience even if you kill my five hundred exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!

T Gephart is an indie author from Melbourne, Australia.

T's approach to life has been somewhat unconventional. Rather than going to University, she jumped on a plane to Los Angeles, USA in search of adventure. While this first trip left her somewhat underwhelmed and largely depleted of funds it fueled her appetite for travel and life experience.

With a rather eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history, T struggled to find her niche in the world.

While on a subsequent trip the United States in 1999, T met and married her husband. Their whirlwind courtship and interesting impromptu convenience store wedding set the tone for their life together, which is anything but ordinary. They have lived in Louisiana, Guam and Australia and have traveled extensively throughout the US. T has two beautiful young children and one four legged child, Woodley, the wonder dog.

An avid reader, T became increasingly frustrated by the lack of strong female characters in the books she was reading. She wanted to read about a woman she could identify with, someone strong, independent and confident and who didn't lack femininity. Out of this need, she decided to pen her first book, A Twist of Fate. T set herself the challenge to write something that was interesting, compelling and yet easy enough to read that was still enjoyable. Pulling from her own past "colorful" experiences and the amazing personalities she has surrounded herself with, she had no shortage of inspiration. With a strong slant on erotic fiction, her core characters are empowered women who don't have to sacrifice their femininity. She enjoyed the process so much that when it was over she couldn't let it go.

T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with colorful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an interesting journey - she is well and truly enjoying the ride!

Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled.
