About The Author
I live in rural South Australia where I was born and raised. After completing a university degree and while contemplating career options, true love intervened.
Four children later, I once again considered my career options. Now I could multi-task, solve complex problems, function on little sleep and wipe up assorted bodily fluids without flinching. Nursing seemed the perfect choice!
I have lived in some remote areas but have also worked in a busy city hospital. My nursing career has fed my curiosity about people, their secrets, hopes and dreams. It is their stories that inspire me.
