About the author

I am a professional writer and editor, living on the beautiful Bass coast of Victoria, Australia. My published works include a novella "Topsy Turvy", and the collections "Getting a Life" and "Everything’s All Right", which were released by the award-winning Ginninderra Press. I have written 40+ non-fiction educational books for children that have been distributed around the world including Australia, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and China. Other credits include creative non-fiction pieces in magazines such as “Quadrant”, and short stories in anthologies such as "Guilty Pleasures and Other Dark Delights", the award-winning “Midnight Echo 14”, and "Spawn: Weird Horror Tales About Pregnancy, Birth and Babies". My short story “A Tale of the Ainu” was produced by the Night’s End podcast, and my interview with award-winning horror author Deb Sheldon has been featured on Kendall Reviews. I have also been shortlisted by Madwomen Monologues and Arkfest for my 10-minute plays. Currently, my writing focus is on short stories and memoir.
