Vanessa Evetts is a passionate & adventurous author from New Zealand. She shocked friends by getting married at 19, but has proven over the last 25 years that she did in fact find a diamond of man. They've travelled the world, immersed themselves in culture and history, raised three children together, hiked, biked, scuba'ed, snowboarded and sailed through the last 25 years with gusto.

      Through her own life and an intimate awareness of the complexities of the human experience, Vanessa developed a desire to empower women through the written word. She is a real-talker who's not afraid of the 'ugly bits' and is willing to have difficult conversations and broach taboo topics both on the page and in real life with love, grace and intention.

    Vanessa was introduced to the transformative power of fiction books to infiltrate the dark places and reach reader's hearts in stealth mode in her teen and early years of marriage reading Francine Rivers and Bryce Courtenay.

     Her novels inspire, uplift and encourage women to live full, passionate and joy-filled lives post trauma and tragedy. They're gritty, raw, and heart-wrenching at times while also brimming with humour, adventure, suspense, romance and hope. 

     If you enjoy books which grab you by the heart on page one and refuse to let go, these titles are for you.
