I live in Melbourne, Australia, with my retired, jack-of-all-trades husband, a bonkers (but adorable) Jack Russell terrier named Sparky, and Meesha, a fluffy black cat who will run you down for sardines. Our three wonderful children have all grown up and flown the nest but we get together for regular family lunches.
When I'm not writing I love to travel, do yoga, walk Sparky, bake bread, grow herbs and vegetables, swim in the ocean, drink wine, eat chocolate, and read. Not necessarily in that order.
Before I became a writer I was a marine biologist. My scuba diving days are over but I still love to potter around the intertidal zone. I’m a long time member of Toastmasters. I joined to overcome my fear of public speaking and stayed for fifteen years because ordinary people tell the most fascinating stories about their lives.
I’ve written some books and won the odd award. You can check them out here.
