About this author

As a teenager, Fiona took two career aptitude tests. The first said she was unemployable, the second returned only one result - coroner. She decided to ignore both (and give up taking aptitude tests) and instead became in turn, an Australian diplomat, foreign and trade policy consultant, freelance writer, theatre producer, blogger, home schooler and author (and sometimes several of these at once).

She has a gypsy soul that has carried her across twenty countries on four continents, including one year long adventure driving across the USA and Canada with her husband, daughter and the dog.

Her love of Africa was forged during a three year posting to Zimbabwe. She now lives in Ghana, West Africa.

I've been waiting a long time to read this book. Well, not this book exactly, but rather a well plotted, well written, keeps-you-hooked sort of book; one that never disappoints and remains consistent throughout. After reading many ok-but-a-tad-uninsp...more

We've come a long way since the 1980s, when television screens, in Australia at least, were filled with images of the Grim Reaper and his AIDs infected bowling ball. It was a graphic campaign. As men, women and children fell, the voice over threatene...more

As a homeschooling, self employed person, this book didn't come as a huge surprise, but it is one that I really enjoyed. I suspect it is because this is a book that sets down on paper what your gut has been telling you for years.
