She has become a leading figure in the industry, with her books achieving worldwide acclaim.

Growing up, Gracie was always surrounded by stories and animals, with her family owning a horse, cows, goats, ducks, and many other animals. She spent her days playing outside with her siblings and animals, and when inside, she would read. Travel was also a significant part of her childhood, as her parents had itchy feet and the family spent a lot of time driving around Australia and other parts of the world. Gracie's love for reading and writing started at a young age, and she learned history by reading authors such as Rosemary Sutcliffe, Henry Treece, and Georgette Heyer.

Gracie's writing journey started when she was backpacking around the world and rediscovered her early desire to write. She wrote her first novel on notebooks bought in Quebec, Spain, Greece, and Indonesia, and although the story never made it out of the notebooks, she had been bitten by the writing bug. Gracie then became a teacher, working as an English teacher and counselor, and helping put on plays and concerts. However, she never did much writing herself until she escaped from her parents and settled down to go to university. Gracie now writes fun, heartwarming regency-era romances for Berkley, USA, and has become a national bestselling author in the USA, a five-time RITA finalist, and a multi-award winner.
