In the 1960s and 70s Australian was predominantly white, Anglo-Saxon, and so a very olive skinned, blue-eyed child stood out, and I was often referred to as a half-caste. Sounds ridiculous now, but Australia was a much less sophisticated place back then. Being the outsider influenced my view of the world, and made me an observer of people, behavior and culture - something that has been very valuable as a writer.
I studied languages and psychology at university as an undergraduate and have a Master's Degree in International Relations, which I completed in my early thirties. I'm also a qualified hypnotherapist and MBTI personality profiler, which really helps me to shape each character's psyche. I've had a life long love of history, people and the places they live, love and die in.
I began the research for The Infidel and Veritas over twenty-five years ago and am working on both the prequel to the series - Paul the Assassin, and the sequel to Veritas - Faventia, both due for release in 2016. I live near Braidwood in Australia, with my partner and four children, where I also assists environmental and social enterprises, and indulge my love of the arts and growing food.показать меньше
