Description

Margaret Way was born and educated in Brisbane, Australia. Before her marriage she was a well-known pianist, teacher, vocal coach and accompanist, but her hectic musical career came to a halt when her son was born and the demands of motherhood dictated a change of pace. On a fortuitous impulse she decided to try her hand at romance writing and was thrilled when Mills & Boon accepted her first effort, 'Time of the Jacaranda', which they published less than a year later in 1970; a feat that brought tears to her father's eyes. A driving force in all her writing was the promotion of her much loved country, Australia. Her interests over her life remained with the arts, including playing the piano seriously, collecting antiques and paintings and browsing through galleries.

Gena was a city girl, sophisticated and worldly; Cyrus Brandt was one of the biggest cattle barons in Western Australia.
