About the author
Faye Whittaker
8 books4 followersFaye Whittaker was born and raised under the shadow of Mt. Taranaki, in a province of Aotearoa (New Zealand) renowned for dairy farming.
When she first left school, Faye was engaged as a Court Clerk, in the Justice Department, where she became fascinated with an aging lawyer who was the curator of the Law Library at the rear of the Courthouse. He was a tubby amiable man, and the staff looked forward to his daily visits at morning-tea. Faye gained the impression he lived alone in a large house – though he didn’t speak much about his private life. Although he befriended and encouraged Faye to take up study and become a lawyer, she did what so many of her generation did. She married young, had three children and consequently it was many years before she finally gained a degree in Social and Community Work from Massey University. Faye is currently the Director of a Tertiary Education Organization in New Zealand specializing in career counseling, and one-on-one education for early school leavers and long-term unemployed. Faye guesses there are some brief acquaintances during one’s life that make a lasting impression. The thoughtful, caring lawyer from her Court days was one who has remained with her, and he eventually became a central figure in her first novel For a Fee of Two Shillings.
