She studied the Ramayana and Mahabarata and developed a genuine interest in the culture and people of South East Asia.
She lives in Perth Western Australia with her husband and has published two books of poetry - Poems of Passion and Praise, and Blue Moon over Moorea. (The latter was published by Austin Macauley in May 2022.)
This is her first novel.
