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, I still sometimes write my first drafts in longhand on plain old A4 lined notepads, which I then type up and begin the editing process. I always rewrite as I go but am now mostly putting my stories directly into my laptop, although the early planning and plotting process is mostly in notepads and on scraps of paper.
While my husband and I have been fortunate enough to have extensively travelled, I have lived my whole life in the Wimmera wheat belt plains of Victoria, Australia. I have two daughters and five grandchildren. 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'm a prolific reader, love travelling, crocheting rugs and playing electronic keyboard.
