PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
I am a Sydney-based writer of fantasy fiction. I was born and raised in Sydney's west and had a troubled youth. I spent countless hours escaping reality by reading and writing for personal pleasure. I have worked in higher education for 25 years and academic libraries for the last fifteen years and love my job. Over the years, storytelling has really shone through as my calling in life. Every hobby or interest I have ever had revolves around the stories those activities breathe life into to give us meaning in our lives. Manah Wars is the culmination of 7 years of writing and 15 years of daydreaming and creating the world of Alteria and populating it with all the characters and events which make it have meaning. All my work was lost ten years ago and I gave up on attempting a novel. My dream was absolutely crushed. How could I come back after losing years of work? Well, the birth of my first daughter inspired me to start writing again and seven years later my first novel is complete. I hope my storytelling comforts and entertains the next generation of fantasy lovers like me.
