Welcome

Louise Wilson a.k.a Louisa Valentine, an Australian author, has long-since waved goodbye to her multi-faceted career in finance & economics and returned to her teenage passion for history, mystery and romance.

Intrigued by her own First Fleet connection, as Louise Wilson she's now bringing previously untold aspects of Australia's fascinating past to life in well-researched and award-winning historical biographies and family histories.

Her latest book, 'Richard Ridge: Convict, Trader and Bailiff in Early Colonial NSW', can be ordered here.

Every family history is built on the relationships between couples - hopefully these are love stories.

So it's a natural extension for Louise to delve into romantic fiction, writing as Louisa Valentine. Her most recent novel 'Still Waters Run Deep' can be ordered here. Available as paperback or ebook.
