is currently undertaking a research higher degree examining sequel memoir at Central Queensland University. Growing up as the daughter of a minister of religion, she saw death from a spiritual perspective. Her career as a nurse led to her seeing death and dying from yet another angle and, as a writer, she is compelled to write about these deaths. She has had work published in an anthology, Eavesdropping (2012), and in Idiom23 literary magazine (2013, 2014). She has completed a memoir, 'Nightmare in Paradise' (2013) and is currently writing a sequel to this.
