As a child, I was always creating and scribbling. The first typewriter I used was an old black Remington in an agricultural farming office where my father worked. I typed letters to my mother and took them home. These days, both my early planning and plotting, and my first drafts, I write sometimes by hand on A4 notepads or directly onto my laptop, constantly rewriting as I go. I have been fortunate enough to have extensively travelled but have lived my whole life in the Wimmera plains of Victoria, Australia. I live on acreage in a passive solar designed home, surrounded by an Australian native bush garden. When I'm not in my office writing (yes, I have a room to myself with a door - every author's dream), I love reading, crocheting rugs, watercolour painting and playing music on my electronic keyboard.
