Describe yourself in one word:
Chocoholic
What is your background with regard to writing?
I’ve always written and loved messing around with words.
Tell us about Down Outback Roads. What inspired this novel?
The setting and plot for Down Outback Roads much grew out of the things I see every day. The small town of Glenalla, and the surrounding red earth countryside, is based on central western NSW, in particular the Cobb and Co station at Molong and the murals at Eugowra. Some of the events that feature in the story are then drawn from my own farm.
