Hayley Lawrence worked as a lawyer in a commercial firm in Sydney before trading city life for the coast when she married a pilot. Hayley and her husband had many adventures while she worked for a small law firm on the Mid-North Coast of NSW. They now have five vivacious daughters who continue to bring immense joy and utter mayhem to their life. Despite leaving legal work, Hayley could not leave behind the stories of the people she'd encountered. They are stories that provoke questions about the nature of humanity, and it's these questions that haunt her novels.
