She has always been interested in the First World War, and upon discovering that no less than three of her ancestors had fought in it, she was inspired to use her passion for family research as material for a novel. Entitled ‘Our Tom’, the book combines history and fiction, shaped in part by connecting with her ancestors through the act of writing. She is currently researching her second novel. She lives in the Port Macquarie, Australia, with her husband.
