TAMARA MCKINLEY was born in Launceston, Tasmania, and was forced to come to England with her grandmother to finish her education at an all girls’ boarding school in Sussex.

Having raised her three children in the Eastbourne area she started to write psychological thrillers before returning to her roots in the form of Australian family sagas set against the backdrop of the outback pioneers.

Quotes by Tamara McKinley  (?)

“Å, som hun savnet de svale, tåkete morgenene hjemme i Irland. Lukten av regn og gress, havet som slo inn mot de svarte klippene og den beske lukten av brennende torv i ovnen. (...) Velda tvang bort de forræderske tankene på Irland. Hun visste de bare dukket opp i svake stunder, og hun visste at hun ville følge mannen sin til verdens ende - selv om det var varmt som i helvetet og dobbelt så ubehagelig.”
Tamara McKinley, Dreamscapes

“John Jay og Beatty dukket fram fra en treklynge, de leide hestene i tøylene mens de langsomt spaserte ut i sollyset, tydeligvis fortapt for alt annet enn hverandre.(...) Du store tid, du får det til å høres ut som om vi var på deres alder, la hun til og nikket mot det middelaldrende parets silhuetter mot våningshuset.”
Tamara McKinley, Jacaranda Vines

“Jeg fylte tolv før en utrolig oppriktig sanglærer sa at han heller ville lytte til et kor av agapadder enn meg, og at jeg burde finne på noe annet.”
Tamara McKinley, Dreamscapes
