wide variety of jobs including, equine groom, café proprietor,

competition. She has two other picturebooks: The Eels of ANZAC
Bridge (illus. Viv Walker) Fraser Books/ Wairarapa Archive, 2012. A

her new Ginomees trilogy.
When she is not writing, she enjoys painting murals, getting lost
in her rambling garden and spending time with her human and animal
family.
