I grew up in a small Australian town called Orbost in the state of Victoria. I spent my childhood chasing snakes and lizards down hollow logs, playing Hansel and Gretel in the bush with my brothers, climbing trees, searching the local rubbish tip for books to read and generally behaving like a feral child. We didn't have horses (apart from an old draught horse) but we had sheep so I used to ride on the back of a big ram. I also did a lot of reading, usually curled up in the hay shed. These days I live in Melbourne (Australia) where, when I am not writing, I work as an English tutor and I still do a little oral storytelling.

My mother's story 'Whisper my Secret' and its sequel "Mother of Ten' are both Amazon best sellers. I also write the Dusty Kent murder mysteris under the pen name Brigid George.
